Love them all, but the British Columbia is a winner for me. What technique are you using - it's subtle and effective. Richie.

Hi NIRCLASS80

 

Excellent work going on here, the weathering is great, which gives the models real scale!

 

I see you are also into - Landrovers, buses, bikes, tractors, boats and cake! deadly!

It was a bit of a home made idea. Painted on some Pollyscale Grimy Black Acrylic paint and then quickly rubbed the wagon with computer cleaning wipes (70% IPA)until I was happy with the effect. Then added rust with brown artist oil paint and just added dots here and there and then just rubbed them downwards to get streaks. The bogies were painted grimy black and then a small amount of brown acrylic dabbed on to represent rust. I see I forgot to do the wheels on the BC Rail wagon!!

Couple of pics of some motive power.

Nice as always. What make are the SD40Rs?

[NIRCLASS80]

Proto 2000, they were a limited release for the Canadian market.

[Warbonnet]

Very nice, have a couple of Proto 2000 SD45s myself. They're lovely.

[Warbonnet]

Also noticed I called them SD40Rs, Doh! Getting mixed up with all these EMD rebuilds!

[NIRCLASS80]

They were actually classed as SD40M-2's so must correct my flickr pics.

Sweet model man. I think the APT-E will be my first Rapido model, although I do like FL9s.....

[NIRCLASS80]

Some pictures of the recently acquired Tangent Hoppers. These cars are excellent, no parts falling off and printing is excellent.

The sound units have HEP option. Sounds great sitting screaming their heads off at station stops.
