Temiskaming & Northern Ontario 80078 36' "Old Timer" Box Car

 Ninety Four

Quick post. Some work I have done on a 36' "Old Timer". This is a older Roundhouse kit. No graffiti, some dirt and rust. One thing about this build is that I painted the car as it was undecorated.

Snaggletooth River Railway 1721"Mary Read" 4-6-0

 Eighty Seven

Here is an example of some of my weathering work that I had previously done on my steam locomotives. The engine is a Bachmann 4-6-0 with 63" Drivers.

CP 365342 & 365345 100 ton hopper

 Eighty One

Again these are nice Bowser kits. Easy to assemble, nice detail, and at a good price. These two cars were weathered to appear not to long in use, 2-3 years. Most attention was paid to dirt, grime and rust. The weathering here is done with acrylics, the technique used is primarily dry brushing.

Kilmister 285 & Snaggletooth 279 40 Ton open Hopper

 Seventy Five

These cars are Bowser kits and were a really enjoyable to assemble and paint. Again, my photo skills are not the best. These 40 ton Hoppers represent two old cars that I use on my HO Scale layout. The intention is for them to appear well used and old. Seventy Five is slightly out of focus but there is a good shot of the trucks. Seventy Six shows off some of the appearance of texture. What I was hoping to show with Seventy Eight was how I was able to get into areas while assembling the kit. One advantage of kits is painting hard to reach areas before they become hard to reach. Seventy Nine shows the patch of Snaggletooth over Kilmister. It is amazing what the camera reveals, I think I need to go back over the lettering here.

A late addition to this post but a much better shot of how you are able to do good detail weathering in tight spaces on kits as you can weather before assembly.
