Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Kankakee, Beaverville, & Southern Railroad Stoughton 45' Intermodal Trailer - By Gary Walton


This very impressively and subtly weathered is the handiwork of Gary Walton. After many years of trackside photography and building truck models, Gary realized that his models of rail trailers were lacking the character and texture of the well worn prototypes. His weathering techniques use a layering process to achieve the typical look of a rail trailer or container after years of continuous exposure to the elements and rough handling. Chalk dust, artist's pencils, dry-brushing, wet-washes, scratching with a dull X-Acto blade, and multiple seal coats are all utilized to achieve the final result.
