Hello and Happy New Year to all, Rich Divizio here from www.modeltrainsweathered.com I usually do HO scale but thought I'd give an O scale car a shot. Unfinished, but here is a small preview of my very first O scale centerflow hopper that I am doing for a fellow model railroader. He asked...

The Athearn kits that had the real nice detail were Pullman standard cars I think. I had a Boston and Maine and a Blue Rock Island one. They are pictured at my site in the gallery. Clearly the stirrups do not match the RTR FMC car stirrups like the MAINE CENTRAL car in my gallery, and those...

Get this, If you have seen the Athearn Genesis cars, then you know that the roller bearing caps on the wheels really turn. THEY ALSO GET LOST IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL. Anyhow, I lost one and basically had to purchase a whole new set of Genesis trucks just to get a cap off a wheel to complete a...

www.modeltrainsweathered.com NEW CAR Hey Jamison, Thanks man. Here's a little something I just completed. Drop me some photos sometime, I'd like to see how your cars are coming along. Rich

The points of the wheels never get seen if they are hidden in the journal bearing, so it does'nt matter if they get painted, unless you feel that the paint may interfere with the smoothness of the wheel turning over time. If that's the case, then once the wheels are painted and dry, you can...

Hi Isambard, Thanks man. Your going to love this. Here's the deal on the wheels. I soon will have the way I do it on my "Inspiration Yard" page, including pics and such, but here's a little something to get ya started. To get the wheels looking that way I had to fall to the airbrush, but not...

Hey 2slim, Thanks man. I use the Testors Clear Parts Cement & Window Maker. You should be able to see it on the Testor's site or at your local train shop. It's a dull white looking glue, then dries clear. Yes that is snow, Chicago snow that is. Thanks again. Rich Divizio

Thanks Russ, and your right, It's nice using a weathering powder. The ones I use also have a dry adhesive built right in. I can manipulate the effects I want very easily. I use the dull coat sometimes to really deaden that shine, but that can also be done with the powders. I use...

Thanks Lorne, I'm glad you like it. I love detail and have alot of patience when it comes to getting a certain look the way I want it. Rich
