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.


Next project…..

My current project is this Athearn ready to roll series car, lettered for South Branch Valley RR in West Virginia. I’m trying to replicate the prototype photo shown below along with the current progress on this model.

So far this car has two layers of weathering on the car sides with three layers on the roof using acrylic paints, rust texture, and powders. I still have a lot of patching to do plus a lot more rust work. I’ll post a final photo when this one is done!
