I really like the inside rust job of this gondola. I've three unweathered on my own layout.

Thanks, that's Sophisticated Finishes Iron Antiquing solution, thinned quite a bit and then added in multiple layers.

I suppose thats something you can't buy in the Walthers catalog is it?

It's a craft product. Michaels or any other quality craft store should carry it. They have a website. I'm sure they list where you can buy it. http://www.patina.com/patina.html
Here's some good old weathering powder gouache and Dull*Cote, again multiple layers with some weathering removed and then relayered.
Different car, same approach.
You're doing some cool things with that stuff! Awesome Gons!
Thanks Keith. It takes some experimentation and we all know where that leads us...
I found that thinning it with about 1/3 distilled water and using sponges to apply it gave pretty good results. I do it in small batches because it is loaded with Iron and besides strong bodies, it makes a great example of how oxydation takes place in nature, and your vessel.

This is the "Big Boy Thread". I'm sorry Jefferey but you'll have to refer to the picture below. Even I'm not tall enough to ride with these guys

Did you use the antique finish product on the "OUTSIDE" of the car as well? You've convinced me to give a try at weathering with this product on a few gondolas I have. I am a noobie when it comes to weathering. I've used the chalk, air brush, & india ink ONLY tools. Never anything else.
Here is a picture of where my current weathering talents lie. I'll admit the india ink stain looks horrible. NOt realistic at all. This caboose was painted by me as well to reflect the original. I am truly a beginner
Caboose with BLI engine. Engine NOT weathered. Too scared too....
I like the gouache comment. He he. Read the dictionary term when you and aggro had a little spat.
Is this a replica of the trailer you live in ? I'd like to do that with my house someday. Nice conversation starter......
If you read what I wrote above the picture of the last car, it says, "Here's some good old weathering powder gouache and Dull*Cote, again multiple layers with some weathering removed and then relayered."
The cars in those three pictures were done using what I just described. The cars in the first post, The Walthers Gon and the NKP gon were done in the interiors with the Antiquing solution.
This is Sophisticated Finishes.
This is weathering powders and other techniques.

Can we use the Star Wars lingo? How about I be Luke Skywalker and you can be Obi Wan kenobee or Yoda. Although Yoda is very green and hairy. Ok maybe not Yoda.
Jefferey can be Jar Jar Binks
These are N scale E-R Models RF16 sharks. I added Gold Medal Models' PRR Trainphone antennas to the A unit. The biggest challenge in weathering was to make the far-too-green looking factory paint look more like PRR Brunwick Green (DGLE) without obscuring the lettering. I added layers of Brunswick Green wash very carefully. When that was done I airbrushed the frame and lower sides with some road grime. I also greased-out the silver grills with a dark black wash.
This is what they looked like new:

Not of my modern stuff. I do have some shots of weathered steam hauling freight though.
