Beautiful job, on your cars. A very long time ago, I worked very briefly for a company that made those replacement hatch covers. Here’s something to think about. They made them out of fiberglass (they switched to aluminum, last I heard) so they won’t rust, and the gel coat is the color you see, and a part of the hatch cover, not just a coating. They will only fade, instead of the weathering we’re used to. Also, something I’ve noticed on railroads that had other color schemes (BNSF was a frequently seen prototype), a car might have two different colored hatch covers on it. I like your techniques, I’ve never been an artist, certainly not enough to try to develop my own technique on a 30 dollar car. Appreciate you sharing your videos.

This car looks amazing, so many fantastic details, the various tones of color on the roof walks, the patching, and the reapplied data with the load weight and weight limits with the white numbers on the black blocks, so many things made this a great prototype to model, and a real test I am sure, and you clearly aced that test! Very nice!

I use my homemade rust for adding to rolling stock. I even use an X-acto (Aproxo) knife to make gouges in the sides and fill up with my rust. Looks real 'cause it's real rust. Cheers from eastern TN

Man your weathering is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! You couldn't have matched it any better to the Prototype Pic! Its unbelievable how the RUST EFFECT looks so real! Very impressed with your work and I'm going to try this on a couple old cars I have that I don't use anymore. That way if I make a mistake etc I won't feel so bad. Once again thanks for sharing your videos and I'm viewing them from Delmar, Delaware.

Speaking of salt cars. Whatever those 2 bay cars that Ohio Central gets at Columbus. I've seen them in person. The car body appears to be aluminum? But the rest is steel. They look horrid. Would be a great modeling project if anyone make them in HO scale though. Any plans to do any of the former D&H hoppers?

The oils need to set up, otherwise if you keep handling it and add more layers, it will start to peel up the under layers of paint work and you would have to start over. I learned that the hard way.

This is the first one you've done that I dont like. It's just overdone in my opinion. The sides look like they're wooden sides. Needs more variety in the streaking No offense but not to my liking.
