December is upon us. Christmas looms ahead in 21 days. Santa is working on finalizing his Naughty and Nice Lists. So, to not wind up a member of the Naughty List, have your layouts ready and your engines, rolling stock, buildings, scenery weathered and prepared for realistic presentation to your family members, friends and the big man, himself when he slides down your chimney on Christmas Eve. Therefore, head to your workrooms and GET WEATHERING!!! Also, remember another way to wind up on Santa’s Naughty List is by not posting your results and your techniques to achieve your artistry here on Weathering Wednesday’s 12-4-2024 Edition. I and the rest of this topic’s followers are eagerly looking forward to seeing your artistry and learn from your techniques.
But first, here are the forum ground rules:
- Have fun and enjoy!
- Post only photos that you have taken.
- If you post a photo taken by someone else or a copyrighted photo, be sure you have expressed written permission from the photo's owner to post their photo.
- Any individual who posts copyrighted material is subject to legal liability. Furthermore, that individual will be banned from the OGR Forum.

There is, again, nothing new here from the Great Northeastern Railway’s weathering shop. So, today I will begin the festivities with a blast from the past, a Great Northeastern Railway (GNR) caboose painted and decaled by me and weathered by my good friend, Pat Whitehead (aka trumpettrain):
Two photos before the addition of the ladders and marker lanterns.
Weathered and sitting on a Free State Junction Railroad siding awaiting delivery to the Great Northeastern Railway (GNR).
Minus one of the ladders that came off during delivery, here is GNR #201 In the GNR's inspection shop prior to assignment for duty in the GNR's rolling stock fleet.
Two final photos of #201in the GNR's Mt. Carroll Yard awaiting connection to the next outbound train.
Now it is your turn to show us your weathering artistry as well as how you achieved yours results and then go to York, have a GREAT time and come home with exciting new things for your layout.
