Closer to 3000, Ulf - collecting nice MRR pictures can be quite rewarding. And way cheaper than the same amount of locos ...  |

Stephen: Each time browsing the web I'm deeply impressed how many high-skilled artists are among our MRR community ... [:p] Those rusty spots on bridge #1 f.e. look so real - one is tempted to bring his steel brush  |

to make rust, try a relatively new product called "weather system" from Bragdon Enterprises. www.bragdonent.comit is a powder kit containing several colors of rust, which contain a dry adhesive, so no clear coat is needed to fix the rust, unlike what you would need with pastels.

Thanks Jon. Looks like interesting stuff. I've ordered some. We'll see how it works. Joe

For HO scale, certainly (excepted if you live in a tunnel or in a Boeing fuselage !). But it could be possible to make a replica in Z scale and maybe N scale. I can tell you that the actual trestle is very impressive. Pierre.

It is the same term down here - they are usually artists crayons... Noch make a weathering paint set p/n 61220 that costs about $40 in Australia.. I can't find it on the Noch site - Humbrol also make a similar product.. |

colored dry chalk = pastels. dry brushed on and then you would need some sort of clear coat/fixative
for metal parts there is also a product called rust-all. but have not tried it. It can be found through Micro-Mark.

I took this picture of Cap Rouge Trestle two days ago. I was lucky with the weather and the fact that I didn't have to wait for a train ... in the good direction for the picture ! Other pictures on my Fotopic.net Gallery.  Pierre.
