Hold-on there, Mr. P51; don't think you're getting by with just a few words. There is that excellent turntable bridge surface itself, complete with aged, 100-year-old-looking wooden planks, dirtier nearest and between the tracks, no less, and the visible, grimy seams and joints...Perfect. Who would want to change a thing? NObody. Real, real nice, Lee. (Plus, I just went to your website and saw its close-up there; it's even more authentic seen in-close.)

Frank,
Thanks for the kind words. That's a Peco turntable, covered in coffee stirrers. I weathered them with inks, then put nail heads with a pen.
I then liberally used rust paints and powdered chalks, and a lot of floquil weathered black... I have been around a lot of RR yards over the years, so it was easy to know where to put the heaviest weathering.
