There’s just something about a well-weathered freight car or a dusty, oil-streaked loco that brings a layout to life. It tells a story—years of use, harsh weather, miles traveled.
Over time, I’ve tried everything from pastel chalks and oil washes to airbrushing and even using real dirt (yep, sifted and sealed!). Each method has its charm—and its challenges.
What’s your go-to weathering technique?
Do you have a favorite product, tool, or method that’s a total game-changer for you?
