Hello Rolf,

Trix (a Marklin Company) has a weathering service. Two version are available light and heavy and I believe the cost is Euro 45.00 for the light version.
Your Dealer should be able to help you out.

P.S. welcome

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for the tip Have not been able to find any information on the Trix Weathering Service however. Have also talked to my dealer about having engines weathered professionally and he was not able to suggest any companies.

Also...I am afraid it might be a little more than just weathering that is needed with this locomotive. I am talkin about a Märklin 37022 (Borsig 1943 design) which is painted all white by M*. I like this engine very much because of its size and functions (MFX, dual smoke generators, ventilator-blades, etc...). But I don't really care for the coloring. I know this must be because it is an engine that has not really existed but on my layout I would pretend that it has (quoting John: "my own personal world" ), so need it to look natural.

So everyone: any advice of professional painting/weathering/airbrushing services would be more than welcome. Inside the Netherlands would be perfect, outside...an option aswell...

Regards,

Rolf

Find a modeler/modeling club in your area, the kind where everyone makes airplanes, boats, cars, ... Those people should have the skills and tools to do the job. You'll need to get decals... custom made however as the Borsig never existed.
