Weathering Some Locomotives

[TomPM]

I began weathering three locomotives the other night.

The first thing I did was give them a coating of Dullcoat to cut down on the shine and slickness.

After the Dullcoat dried I hit them with a wash made from 1 part Folk Art Charcoal Gray, 5 parts blue windshield washer fluid, and a couple of drops of dish detergent.

Here is how they look:

Bachmann Spectrum Reading SD45

P2K Reading GP7

P2K Chessie SD9

Next I will be airbrushing the trucks and the bottoms of the locomotives with various dirt and grime colors.

Great weathering - looks completely natural - which is just how it should! Nothing obvious to catch the eye. Can I suggest the same for the deer - they tend to stand out and "grab the eye" a bi,t and would be better if they were less visible as they would be in real life

I soooo love that diorama. I read the whole thread. The Locos look really great. :thumb: I am working on a few myself... lets just say no one shall ever see the first on I tried. Went way overboard. Good thing it was just a broken Tyco F7 I picked up for a buck.
