Weathering for Railway Modellers


I added this to my digital library yesterday and have been skimming through it today for weathering ideas. It is a very well illustrated and comprehensive guide to a wide variety of weathering techniques, both for rolling stock and locomotives. 

I'm itching to have a go now, using some of the washing and drybrushing methods that I've used for military modelling, with the specific approaches suggested in this excellent book. I was particularly impressed by the weathering of N gauge wagons, which was very effective even in such a small scale.

A bit pricey but definitely worth every penny.

  1. It's a neat way to get the realistic look. We live in a railroad town with 100+ trains a day passing through and even at a casual glance I see most of the rolling stock is grafitti'd. In fact, there are model railroad companies here offering rolling stock with grafitti decals. What a world...
