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.

Scenes from the “new” layout…

Well, maybe not new layout, but perhaps new module! A lot of work put into the module today starting with cleaning all the track first off.

All the buildings I needed are in place now, along with all the fencing and trees I’m going to need. I still need to glue down some ground cover and ballast I had to put down.

What’s up next will be to weather up the remaining tanks in Allied Chemical, dirty up the scrapyard, weather up the dumpsters, and plant more weeds.

Hopefully I can eventually find all my vehicles and some more figures plus more of my power poles. Again, my last project will be to hopefully find an industrial backdrop scene. My goal is to make this module look like a70’s industrial area. For now, here are scenes from the module this evening:

Welcome to my site! I’ve been a model railroader since the age of 14, and a railfan all my life! I’m retired now but have traveled all over on both Amtrak and tourist railroads plus steam excursions. My layouts have been published twice, and I started weathering work in 2009. I have also worked for a regional railroad in the past as first a brakeman/conductor then track inspector. Hope you enjoy the journey with me on my website!
