Working on weathering

Experimenting with my new airbrush and weathering. I’m using my 0-6-0 which is going to be the neglected work horse for my freight cars.

I’m liking it Dan.

Me too …Dan if you want to work the weathering like mother nature does wet down some 1000 grit (for starters) sand paper and work/drag from the top too the bottom just like mother nature does.

I’ll give it a try…

Looks real nice.

In order to get even weathering on the running gear, I set my engine on a wood block and powered her up. With the drive wheels turning at a slow to moderate speed while I slowly added layer after layer of grime, I didn’t get the “shadow” lines on the drivers. You know, those areas of no weathering on the driver because a rod was between the driver and the airbrush.

I like it , nice work Daniel . The rusty running boards and overall grime look very realistic.
