This week at the Great Northeastern Railway (GNR) has been devoted to straightening and cleaning the shop area as well as assembling the facade of a new, stone, 3-portal tunnel entrance. Though we have nothing new this week in the way of weathering to show, during this coming week, Zora Maya will be weathering the stonework of the 3-portal entrance for show the following WW week.
So, to start this week’s WW edition, I will share a retrospective of some weathering work Done by me and my close friend Pat Whitehead (aka trumpettrain on the OGR Forum)
Two mainstays of GNR's Mt. Carroll Yard weathered by Pat Whitehead for the GNR, the dock-side switcher and the GNR caboose. Pat's work is superb! The rails were aged by the GNR's head of the Painting and Schmutzing Department, Chris Harrison.
The following photos were scratch-built, painted and weathered by me. The first is a REA freight depot made for the Red Lion, PA model Railroad Club.
The next photo is of a model of the former PRR's Stemmers Run Station, a small commuter stop on the PRR's (now Amtrak) main line to Baltimore and Washington DC. It was built for the Martin Airport's Christmas train display. What is left of the now decaying station is in the same area as the Martin - Marietta airport which is across from the now Amtrak mainline upon which the remnants of the station is located.
So, it is now time for you all to show us your weathering artistry as well as how you achieved yours results.
