Weathered Freight Cars














G'day!

I've been watching some weathering videos on YouTube over the last few weeks and I decided to 'dirty up' some roofs on boxcars plus a flatcar, covered hopper and a gondola.  A few of the boxcars have been previously weathered using an airbrush to give a 'dusted' look but I'm not finished with any of them just yet.

The Milwaukee covered hopper certainly needs the top to be finished but I'm happy with the results so far.  The roofs are definitely on the 'heavy' side as far as rust goes.  I won't be doing all the roofs to that extreme, there will be variety in the fleet.  The side-on shots are of boxcars that were airbrushed for road grime.  Some bogies and wheels still need painting, rusting, grease etc.

I'll be weathering some more cars soon so keep a look out for more posts.  Let me know what you think.

Cheers for now!
Stew.
