Weathering Clinic - Rolling Stock

The group are just beginning their models. The room supplied was very nice with a great view of the river and CN spur line. The CN ferry - boat yard was once located about a block away.

On Saturday I was invited to give a weathering clinic to the Sarnia Modeling Club. It was about how I do my rolling stock using PanPasels and some acrylic paints and stains. I am glad we had a smaller group of 9 which made it easier to concentrate on each modeler. I had a nice group of my models to view and use as inspiration. We had On30", N and HO scale modelers in the group...all went home with a pretty good model with light to medium levels of weathering...George Dutka   

Sue and Doug working on their models Doug models TH&B so Sue had a 40' boxcar to weather. She actually did very well with a light hand at weathering and followed my instruction well when she painted the roof. Bruce worked on two models.

Jim Sloan was in the crowd working on his CN Rapido boxcar. He had a chance to play around with some of my PanPastels and really did not need any instructions. His model looked great when he left but I am sure there will be more work done to it when he gets home. Check his blog for what he is working on. It is on the sidebar.

Steve was working on some N scale models. He had a great time trying out new products and his models looked great. I found it takes just as long to do an N scale weathering job as HO. Especially when he is painting those tiny wheels and trucks.

On my way out of town the sun was still good so I stopped by to take a photo of CN 6069 off the hill.
 

On my way to Sarina I followed the tracks taking backroads instead of 400 series highways. I caught CN EB 148 at the Watford section house, the midway location from my home to Sarnia. I did not have any time to get up on the overpass for a good view as I got to the location as the train arrived. I just opened the car door and took my photo. I really did not want those posts in the middle of my photo, oh well that's life.
