Model Railroading > Warbonnets: Faded and notDate: 09/06/19 22:37 Warbonnets: Faded and not Author: railstiesballast A new Athearn Roundhouse meets a weathered Kato on my SWP.
The Kato was a brilliant red and I wanted to tone it down a bit but my airbrush of a white/gray wash kind of got away from me. So I guess we'll call this a contemporary image. It is not really good focus, but for an i Phone grab shot it does show the contrast in weathering.

Date: 09/07/19 20:19 Re: Warbonnets: Faded and not Author: railstiesballast I wrote that location of inadequate ballast down some months ago, but somehow......
Oh yeah, I decided to weather a locomotive instead. Date: 09/08/19 16:55 Re: Warbonnets: Faded and not Author: bnsfsd70 Yeah, pretty much everything but the post-merger 700/4700s are looking pretty rough these days. Here's a shot that I took of one of the 900s in Topeka last month.

If you were to apply even a little rust and grime streaks like the fuel tank, trucks, and sill on Jeff's 934 photo, you'd really have something special there.
