and go over them again with my thinned fading color so the ribs
don't stand out too much.
“I weather using random photos (not always of the road name
modeled) for reference. I also weather per the mid 80s with little to
no graffiti. Not a lot of rust buckets in the mid 80s. I use mostly Tan-
gent and Exactrail hoppers, with a few from Intermountain.”
