Keeping with my gondola theme from last week, here's an "old" Atlas (now Atlas Trainman) Pennsylvania gon that I completed in October 2021. It's another in a long line of cars I weathered to develop my skills and try new techniques. As mentioned in my post last week, I weathered these cars, then sold them to raise some $$ to purchase more cars to weather, so it's long gone from my collection. Hopefully someone is enjoying it today!
Lots of different techniques were used on this car. I remember using mostly dry-brushed acrylics and acrylic washes on the inside of the car, and mostly powders and pan pastels on the exterior. The trucks and couplers received a combination of acrylics, powders and pan pastels. The simulated "chalk" markings were done with colored pencils. Of course the entire car received a flat dull-cote to lock everything in.
