Very nice weathering job Jerry, makes me wish I had a Niagara! Wondering what colors you used in the process.

Back then, it was all done with Floquil weathering colors, on the Niagara, primarily Grimy Black, Grime, and a small smidge of rust. Now that Floquil is no more, I'd have to experiment with some replacements. I'm back in my 1:87 world, and I've been doing some weathering with an Iwata airbrush and their weathering colors. Also doing a lot with pastels, but so far, only buildings. One of these days, I'm going to bite the bullet and start doing weathering on the Spokane Southern's MP&E.

There is a lot of guys doing weathering with dry brushing and acrylic washes, and I really like the look of it. Will start off on a couple of Athearn cars that I don't care much about, and move on from there.

Regards,

Jerry
