Here is a Athearn FGE "Solid Gold" 50' PD Superior Boxcar which has been weathered using the same step techniques as the above cars.

Here is the car un-touched out of the box:

Not bad Josh! My only suggestion... Go a tad darker on the trucks. Trucks are rarely that light color of rust. Check out some proto photos to compare.

Very useful tutorial Josh, thanks for sharing it.
I discovered that thread "by accident" ( I'm mostly interested in N scale ) .
I agree with jbaakko's suggestion, the trucks should be a little dirtier ( grimy black ! ).
I purchased some "regular" pastels but so far didn't tried that method.
So far I used acrylic and oil paints for weathering, but pastels looks like it gives a more subtle weathering.
What makes me hesitate is the high price of Bragdon Enterprises weathering powder. Is it worth it ?

Until there is a dedicated weathering subforum, wouldn't it be better if the weathering threads go into the scenery subforum as weathering is scale independent ?

Nice work Josh!!

I use Bragdon weathering powder extensively -- I really like it. Unlike powdered pastels, the Bragdon powders have a friction-activated adhesive. The more you rub when applying, the more it activates the adhesive.

I do not use Dullcoat as my first experience (and last) was that it made things shinier. Mind you, I used it from a spray tin and not an airbrush.

Anyway, keep up the great work. Looking forward to watching more. Big Grin

cheers

Thanks Jacques Misngth

Bragdon Powders are great. I had never tried them before i bought them for much of the same reason you mentioned, the price was too high for something i could just get from a craft store. But as Val said, the powders have a Friction-Activated adhesive in them that helps them stick to the cars. I would still recomend spraying them with a coat of flat finish to seal them and prevent future handling finger prints lol

Like i said, i will not be using dullcoat on these cars, i dont like how dullcoat gives a shine to the cars, and it also takes away some of the weathering details, which is not good, also as Val said. Ill be spraying them with Floquid Flat Finish through an airbrush when i get one as Wayne mentioned in another thread Thumbsup

Thanks Josh and Val for the info ( and the pimping lol ) about Brangdon Enterprise weathering powders.
I'll write that product on top of my model railroading shopping list .
Right now I'm weathering an N scale 40' boxcar and I want first to give "regular pastels" a try.
