Weathering Forecast

[Patrick Davey]

Tried a bit of light weathering tonight on three of my locos - just a bit of dry brushing of light brown around the bogies and lower body. The glossy black (or silver!) plastic on the bogies in particular was beginning to niggle at me, so it had to go!  I will let this sit, run a few trains, and see what I think before possibly taking things a stage further.

Looking good

Good start, I'm going to have to take the plunge because I really don't like my locos, coaches and wagons looking like new all the time, were you worried about the result Patrick?

Yes because I was afraid of overdoing it, it can be addictive!!!

Looks good. Know what you mean. I’d be terrified about weathering really nice models like that. At least with when it comes to my own scratchbuilds and weathering I know what faults need concealed!

Get yourself some cheap loco bodies on eBay and get some practice at it, when you have mastered some skills, then tackle some of your good stuff, but I agree it is addictive. The nice thing about Irish locos is that it is hard to overdo it, they were manky most of the time,
