Here's what I was getting up to over the Rainy Easter Holiday. Some weathering experiments with a detailed Athearn Box car (original paint by Athearn) I was basing the model after this Soo Line prototype at Graham Stockfeld's Soo Line Photo Archive And I built and added a couple details to a P2K covered hopper. The weathering is a bit less extreme Here's a couple shots of the ends and roofs: Note the coupler lift bars and air hoses
Rob excellent weathering I especially like the grain car. Here are a couple pics of my project completed over the weekend
Wow! Very well done gentlemen! Paul, your town scene looks great. I've been having some problems trying to make roads. I've tried the woodland scenics kit, but that just made a big mess and is cracking and falling apart in several spots. What did you use if I may ask?
Jerry I use wet and dry (sandpaper) all I did was glue it in place then use a brush with some chalk to colour it, it's as simple as that
