Re: Loco weathering - a beginner’s tale
Testing a different, and very cheap, airbrush this evening with just a light touch of frame dirt on the underframe area.

Good job, restrained. There were times when engines were just a little grimy.
Re: Loco weathering - a beginner’s tale
True, but I've only just started on this one.

Re: Loco weathering - a beginner’s tale
Looking good Steve - sometimes you just want to take the "newness" off a loco - this is why I like the "weathered" Hornby loco's, just enough to take the shine away. Barry
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Re: Loco weathering - a beginner’s tale
I agree with you BB, taking the ‘newness’ off is often all that is needed - but for testing purposes I went for the ‘late BR’ look for this static model.
