Although most models of railway locomotives are produced in a
pristine condition, in reality the external condition of most
locomotives quickly deteriorated as operation and weather took
their toll. Of all the skills associated with railway modelling,
that of weathering of locomotives is perhaps one of the most
difficult. It is very easy to spoil an otherwise beautiful model by
the careless application of paint but as increasing numbers of
modellers seek to create an ever more authentic feel for their
layouts, information on the best methods of application becomes all
the more important. This informative new volume provides the
modeller with a guide to the principles and practice of weathering
locomotives, providing modellers of all levels and abilities with a
step by step guide to the skills involved and the pros and cons of
undertaking such work on models. Following the same format as the
rest of the 'Aspects of Modelling' series, the book includes
instructive text alongside detailed colour illustrations. Examples
of weathering include multiple-units as well as steam, diesel and
electric locomotives.As well as the popular 4mm scale, the author
also includes examples of 7mm and 2mm scale models.
