For me,
weathering
a boxcar
undercarriage is
a 10-minute job. I
mask the sides and
ends of the model
and then spray
the undercarriage
with Rustoleum
flat brown primer.
I then mist a
beige camouflage-
colored flat
enamel to
represent mud kick-up and dust that normally adheres to
prototype freight car undercarriages. Ten minutes and it is done.

the undercarriage. Nothing
fancy, just the cheap stuff.

28. Here are the trucks as they come from the
manufacturer. I take the wheelsets out of the
trucks so I can weather them separately.

Trucks and wheelsets are another 10-minute
weathering effort. I spray the trucks and wheel faces
(treads masked) with the same brown Rustoleum primer.
I use a chopstick to hold the trucks in place while
painting them.
