Lots of dirty. That's what this model locomotive needed. And that's what it got.
Most of the work was carried out with the airbrush. A weak mix of track colour was wafted on first. Once a paint cup of this had been used up the next one had a mix of earth colour in it. This was concentrated on the wheels and lower footplate to give the effect of dirt thrown up from the track.
The final cup was a track colour and dark grey mix which went on the top of the bonnets to simulate exhaust muck.
Finally some weathering powders in the crevices put in the ingrained dirt.
All I had to do then was glaze the windows with Krystal Klear. I still need to look at the windows in the noses as these should at least have a black background ideally have the train identification letters in there.
