Hi Jordan

Excellent weathering.
You have really brought the trucks to life. I particularly like the rusty scratches, and the very rusty patches on the roof of the hopper.
The pads are a useful tip too. I'm sure I have a set I bought for decorating that are still in the wrapping. :

Yeah. Mmmmm nice, Jordan, http://www.westernthunder.me.uk/Smileys ... 1/cool.gif I like these.  Excellent weathering, captures the class 1 railroad scene nicely.http://www.westernthunder.me.uk/Smileys ... owdown.gif http://www.westernthunder.me.uk/Smileys ... thumbs.gif

Here's a picture of my CN GP9 (a modified and detailed Proto 2000 model) with which I have tried to emulate the weathering from a photograph using Vallejo acrylic paints (as used by wargamers).

Without boring, I will say is that the rust has been shaded (as with military models) as rust isnt always red/brown The rust bursting through effect is done using masking liquid, salts etc....

I would agree. to me the key colour in old rust is blue as opposed to the fresh rust which, for want of a better word,  is more orange

For those who haven't seen it, and regardless of your modelling "persuasion", they have a superb website cum newsletter, which is well worth a look.

The insulated 8,000 gallon WINE  car would be a welcome addition to any layout - especially in this weather

Hi Steve they were actually in a place called 'Field' the original HQ of the Canadian Pacific railway..

Do a search for Field, British Columbia in Google maps, and follow the railway line North-East, and you will see the Spiral Tunnels.. One of the greatest railway engineering feats in the world.. And it really is..

The rockies are actually North-East of Field on the Icefields Parkway (if I remember..)
