It's hard to believe it's N scale, beautiful weathering!

Craig, Great models again, but that ConAgra hopper is sick.

Unfortunately, I haven't weathered anything in about two years. HOWEVER, I'm about
to get back into it because projects are currently scattered all over my room.  Horribly
over-sized...YEAH! ! ! I wouldn't have it any other way. Hehe.

Thanks Lennart,
Glad it brought back some memories for you.

Wow! I love this one. I once had a CNW themed layout, and this brings out fond memories.

Here's a few IMR Hoppers I weathered recently.  Con Agra Potacan Frito-Lay Santa Fe Ex-Koppel and a Penn Central. FVM 36" metal wheels added except the Frito.

Beautiful work!  Care to share any techniques?

Bobby and Bob, thanks very much for the kind words on these mini hoppers.

Thanks for the compliment on these mini beasts.  I use a variety of techniques. Weathering one car takes me a couple of weeks. I like to use prototype photos as guides.

Here's an MTL Santa Fe Hi-Cube box I've been working on.

Digging up an old thread.
Kind of sucks as a lot of the photos have weathered or faded away?

This is the first of 5 GP18's that'll join my fleet.
It's a Walthers Shell that I retro fitted an Atlas DCC ready GP7/9 frame under.

Here is a loco I painted, decaled and weathered for a friends Mexican N Scale RR some time back.

Didn't come out too bad.

Nice work Rod.
I like the amount of rust that's on the blower unit!
