I like your back drop and I like the variation of weathering on your cars. I think we need to fight the temptation to over weather every car in the train instead of having a mix of heavily weathered, lightly weathered and even some fresh paint jobs on new cars.

Thank you Russ Bellinis

You are a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y right. That is the difficult part: Variation in weathering.

I try my best to step away from heavily weather cars (rust bucket) but I find it difficult, the temptation is too great. When I see the real thing I pay attention to the mix of non-weather (new), lightly weather and heavily weather (rust buckets).

I must admit that I find rust buckets fascinating to see and to [try to] replicate.
