To make the BN logo and the stenciling look faded, I applied a
white chalk stick directly to these, then used a stiff brush to drag
the chalk straight down the side of the car, not at an angle.
I applied flat clear coat to seal the weathering. The clear coat
prevents smudging from your fingers while handling the car.
This can be done with an airbrush or from a can. Chalk tends to
fade after a clear coat is applied.

chose to build a small and basic garden railway. One of the
greatest parts about working on this caboose is that my two

the chimney.
