Same location (before I installed the fascia..)

These cars do have reporting marks and car numbers now...

Thats some fantatic weathering on those cars. I'd love to see more of your layout plus some ideas on how you achieved the weathering effects.

I second that! Weathering is absolutely gorgeous! If you wouldn't mind sharing your secrets, I'd love to learn!

Your layout has a very "real" look and feel to it... with the weathering of your rolling stock as well as the backdrop and scenic details, it looks like a picture that was taken roadside in the "real world" versus a model railroad layout... awesome job... I can only hope my work comes out half as good!

Thanks guys :oops:

Will post more pics later this week hopefully.
I've included a quick tutorial on weathering on my website. I could reproduced it here (cut & paste) if you wish.

Thanks again

Excellent pics! Thanks!!! I think we'd really appreciate it if you'd cut and paste your weathering tips. Beautiful effects! That last picture of the three white box cars looked so much like a prototype shot i had to look twice.

Ok so I am looking at the pics at first and thinking "Ok nice pics but this is a MODEL RR site not prototype". Then as I scroll down I notice they ARE models.

Sheesh guy you can give some of us a complex LOL
Thats is great stuff you have there.

I followed the link to both of your web pages. Nice work indeed. If you could share how you get the peeling paint rusted effect that would be super cool. I assume you use a cosmetic brush to dab it on. Is it a combination of paints and weathering powders? It is a really nice effect.
