Some CNJ weathering

Great Job, Looks like some of that Lehigh Valley cement dust settling on them. Very Nice.

Nice job!

Great job!

"They were just too clean for the CNJ."

..... That's for sure. Lol.

Thanks guys. Casey they are a little darker in person.

Just like I remember seeing them in Bayonne  Awesome Steve

Steve, I love that look.

Back in the 40's & 50's the cement mills had little or no filter system and the cement dust would travel 25-50 miles to different towns. Everyone would wash their cars using vinegar in the water.

That is the look your weathering reminded me of.

Just great, you did a great job. Thank you.

I agree. Great job Steve. Looks very realistic.

BTW, is that the new MTH Trainmaster?

Hi Steve,

Looks great, awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Alex

Thanks guys.

Yes J1e it is. I ran it around the layout once and then stuck it on the weathering table.

It just looked too shinny.

Steve,

Very nice. I used to see those trains on the line running through Plainfield when I visited my grandparents. The house was about 50 feet from the tracks and it shook when those trains went by.

Steve,

What techniques did you use?  Paint or weathering chalks?  I agree weathering adds a ton of realism, however, sometime I can't bring myself to weathering a loco that costs upwards of $400 each.  By the way excellent job.

Thanks Chessie,

    I use three Weaver Scale Coat II colors (Loco Black, Rust & Grime #1) through an air brush.
