I
first met Jeff Meyers at the 2011 Railroad Prototype Mod-
elers (RPM) meet in St Louis. Jeff, a locomotive engineer,
has been modeling since he can remember, but only got
serious about freight car modeling in the past six years.
Jeff acts as a moderator on the
The Weathering Shop – Rust
Bucket
website
). He attributes most of his
enthusiasm and newly-honed weathering skills to the informa-
tion he’s gained from his association with the Rust Bucket site.
I had the chance to shoot photos and video of Jeff’s freight cars
in modeled scenes this past summer, so I’m presenting you with
the results of our time together, along with a brief description of
what went into making these fine looking HO models. I’m also
inviting Jeff to write some step-by-step articles for MRH on how
he models and weathers his freight cars.
Enjoy these photos and video of some very inspiring modeling!
