Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

Weathered!
A couple of view at the South Simcoe Ry. on Oct. 6, 2024 of what prototype equipment looks like after years of neglect and weathering. Any chance you can do this on a model...George Dutka
Maybe custom decals that are the darker shade of faded paint? Or paint the car the darker faded color you want and apply dry transfer decals. Then paint the lighter faded colors over that and peel off the dry transfer decals. Or paint the cars in the colors you want and set them outside in the weather for about 30 years?

ReplyDeleteGood one Jeff. At 70 I will never see the final effect in 30 years. But will be interesting to see if someone can emulate the look in model form.
