Scroll down and you’ll see great weathering jobs on some motive power. The freight cars and cabooses look good too! You can click on each image and enlarge the photo.
Enjoy!
Now that’s what I call real weathering, just superb, it truly shows what an art this is as opposed to brushing or spraying on a load of grey on the lower part of a train. The exception was the C-G 4-6-0, sure needs some dust or alkali stains or did it just come from the paint shop, again, the best jobs of weathering I’ve seen, congratulations. Keith
Hi Antonio,
Thanks for the link. It is absolutely incredible how real the weathering makes them look.
Note of Topic: Antonio, I went to a train show and there was a BLI L&N E7. Just couldn’t walk away [:D]. I got it at a very low price. It is fantastic. It runs very smooth and the sound effects are outstanding. With the one in the mail, I’ll have two L&N’s. [^]
Those are some excellent models! PC U23B 2753 was done very nicely - http://www.irritatedvowel.com/rpm/j%20six%20pc%202753r.jpg and the weathering on this Seaboard car has got to the best I have ever seen - http://www.irritatedvowel.com/rpm/k%20pytlak%20sal%207084r.jpg
Wow, nice units!
Magnificently done. Some of it’s pretty adventurous. Shows us that it can really pay to take risks.
IMHO, especially outstanding are the Southern and SCL locomotives!
The freight cars are also belong in the “Prize Winners” categories!
