5: Jerry Krueger posted this photo of his weathered Rio Grande
covered hopper on a recent Weekend Photo Fun thread. Jerry
perfectly captured the look of a hard-working in service car.
Jerry says, “This is an Atlas O scale single bay Airslide covered
hopper. It has been weathered using a combination of artists oil
paints and weathering powders. I airbrushed it with 'mud' along
the underside to bring out the details, then applied a light wash
of weathered black as a final coat to blend the weathering and
to tone down the weathering contrast on the stark light gray car.
“I typically model in HO scale, but I saw some O scale rolling
stock that I like, so decided I wanted to try my hand at some O
scale for a change of pace."
We think your change of pace shows excellent work there, Jerry.
Nice job, and show us some of your HO modeling too!
Yes, it’s a model - 3
