What do you use to weather your trains

It is a multi-step process. Initially an overspray of clear matte finish, then road dust, paint fade and soot "usually" with PollyScale or Vallejo blends using the airbrush.

Then finer detail work with artists oils thinned with turpentine, water soluble colored pencils, powders and "paint chipping" methods. 

Thank you, Ed

More icing platforms, please...

Here's the icehouse at Dunnville...

This one, in Lowbanks, does ice the occasional car, but its main function is storage of ice, that's shipped-out to all the ice dealers in nearby towns, including Dunnville...

Wayne

More ice houses, please.

This picture is of the layout in the Roundhouse Museum at the Durango And Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

I think this weathering is remarkable.

Show me more dirty weathering.

I painted and weathered GP7 BM 1715 based on a photo. The simplified Bicentennial color scheme was a few years old when it was taken. The abandoned tower on the right is also well weathered

Show me more weathering

Show me more things that could use a good bath!

I am quite satisfied with the weathering job I applied to this stock car. It is eventually going to be re-lettered for a ficticious railroad.

Show me more dirty weathering.

Memories of the Pacific Great Eastern or Please Go Easy as the locals would call it. PGE became the BCR British Columbia Railway that was taken over by Canadian National CN.

 

More of the extinct please.

24 hours passed with no cars waiting at the crossing grade.

I meant to respont to that request. I even uploaded a picture to my Imgur, then I forgot. Oops.

NEW YORK CENTRAL seems to be the theme. Here is one operating on the Altanta Interlocking Railroad Group's train show layout:

THREE fallen flags all rolled into one! The Pennsylvania bought this Geep originally in 1957, and there is evidence of its brief existence under Penn  Central, finally ConRail in 1976.

Show me another loading dock.

Here's "Lumpy" on the loading dock at the Lowbanks ice house, waving at the hostler moving a locomotive onto the turntable on the other side of the mainline...

Nowadays, Lumpy would be considered "mentally challenged", but he has a lot of friends that look out for his well-being.
