The Weathering Depot

I have been weathering mainly HO Scale model trains since 2009 for fellow modelers and family. I specialize in freight cars, especially rust buckets. I do anything from light to heavy weathering using a variety of different mediums, sometimes three or four on a single car. I take care with models, therefore a model may take me a week plus. Please check out my work here on my page. My price varies as to how much weathering is requested. I will also for an extra labor and parts charge change out couplers and wheels. My fees and hours are on the "contact me" tab.


Down and dirty….

Down and dirty is what I’m calling this next side project! This is a Walther’s Mainline series coil car lettered for NYC. I’ve had this awhile but had never touched it until now. As you can see in the photos I’ve already faded the paint on the car body, rusted the car and brake wheel, painted the couplers, and have done probably the best dirt and grime buildup on any model to date. As I’ve sold my coil loads, I’ll probably purchase another package from my supplier to place in the car. Of course next comes the hoods!
