More Freight Car Weathering

[Eddie Landreth]

I've been experimenting some more with some weathering on cheap freight cars (like the
previous pics, I'll probably toss most of these on eBay since most of them are not really
my lines or period...just looking for cheap $5 cars to experiment on. So don't ask me what that B&O line car is doing on my MoPac layout ).

Here's the results. My personal favorites are the Frisco and blue B&O cars. Let me know
what you think, good, bad, or indifferent. I'm trying to get the hang of how much chalk
to use before applying the Dullcoat, since the Dullcoat seems to absorb a lot of the chalk.
I'm thinking the first 2 look right.

Eddie,

They all look pretty good to me. I would take the whole set if they were 40 footers in "N".:thumb: :thumb:

Very cool!

Have you ever considered posting step-by-step photos? I'm sure they would be much appreciated!

Cool!

Those look dam' fine to me Eddie!

One thing you might try is some recent scratches that haven't had time to rust yet. So it would be just bare metal - grey would probably work. Also while you're at it, some old scratches too.

Thanks, guys. Arlaghan - I think I'll try to take photos along the way next time to document the process and will post them here.

Regards,

Excellent work, Eddie. I'm waiting for the tutorial!
