A Little Bit Of Weather



I attended our regional Train Show a few months ago and while there took part in a couple of workshops.
One of these work shops was about weathering your rolling stock and buildings using Bragdon Powders.
My first attempt at using this process was on an old box car that I brought to the show for this purpose.
My second attempt at using these powders was a few weeks later when I decided it was time to take the shine off one of my new Trueline Trains Caboose's.
You can really see the difference between the caboose on the left which is how it looks right out of the box and the caboose on the right which I weathered using the powders.
I see a lot of potential use for these powders which come in several shades.
