Rick's adventures on the weathering bench
Well well. It has apparently been three years since I was here. I haven't been idle on the weathering bench but many of the results have already appeared on layout topics.I recently purchased a trio of Dapol "Grampus" steel-bodied ballast wagons. Two have been weathered using rust and black; the third has those plus dark green. The plastic load has also been stippled with a mix of colours from "dirty white" to black with a couple of shades of buff in the mix too. The lighting used may have washed out a little of the effect especially on the ballast loads.

Thank you. I don't propose to change the wagon numbers as they are small enough to not be noticed at normal viewing distance.
