My First Wheathered Stuff

[TruckLover]

Here are some pictures of my first wheathering job. I learned how from UP SD40-2 (Deano) in his tutorial. Here is the link to it if you want to learn how. It is so easy and fool proof: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=19717&page=23

Pretty good. I'm to afraid to weather my models. I don't want to over do it, lol. If you look, the oly weathered cars on the layout that are weathered are my SCMX 23,000 gallon tank car ( more of an accident) ,Southern and COnrail 50' boxcars. I have another 40' Industrial Rail Burlington Northen Boxcar i wethered that looks ok, but i don't use it on my trains. I should use the rest of my $3 junk cars for practice.

Thanks everybody for your compliments. It is so easy to do. I practiced on the 40' Columbus Line Container and liked the results so I just went from there.

Here are a couple more I did this morning.

Doing Great Josh!

i think your doing GREAT JOSH!:thumb: your BNSF, CNW and those containers just KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF!:thumb: . remember, do your freight in various degrees of filth, sometimes less, IS MORE . GREAT JOB JOSH!:thumb: -Deano

Here's a couple of the BNSF Coalporter Train. I have only done 2 of the 6 but it already makes the one's that arn't wheathered look bad as you can see in 1 of the pics below:

The coal load is ground up asphalt from when they re-did my street. It works great and looks like real coal.

 

[UP SD40-2]

Josh, WOW! those BNSF coal porters LOOK GREAT!:thumb: VERY WELL DONE!:thumb: . hey, check page 28 in my thread, look for the "alternate weathering" post. you may/may not find it useful on your hoppers for your "magic pan bakeries", etc.tooth1 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! BTW, glad to have seen some track and switches on your layout, your making GREAT progress!:thumb: . EDIT: Josh, i REALLY liked your coalporters!, in fact, i liked em so much, I JUST ORDERED A SET OF SIX!!...allthough, mine are UP(of course) -Deano

I think this is my best example of weathering, although it is hard to see. THe trucks are rusted up like on most GG1s, the sides are almost clear ( this is because the GG1s would back therough the passenger car cleaner as well) and a rusted, tarnished roof, which looks pretty realistic if you could see the roof, lol. I tried to match as closely as i could to picture of it i saw on RailPictures.net

They all look great guys!
You know...Once you start weathering...You're just not goingto be able to stop.
