First PS2 engine

I got my first PS2 engine the other day, it's great i can't stop playing with it. It is a MTH Railking Decapod. When i was first looking at buying DCS i had no idea that the sounds where this good. Now i am glad i bought it. Heres some pictures.

Weathered freaight cars

I started weathering a few freight cars this week. I finally bought an airbrush its a passache VLS double action brush. I like the double action brush because i think you have more control then you would over a single action brush. I think the Rock Island car looks the best. To do these all i did was verly lightly spray the cat starting from the trucks moving slowly up with dirt. Then i sprayed the trucks and couplers with rust. In the future i want use some of my grimy black. I thought the process was going to be alot harder then it is. It takes me about 10 minutes to do a car. Heres some pictures of my first few cars. I plan to do more soon so i will keep you posted when i do some more cars.

Weathering

I decided i was going to take the plunge into weathering. So the first thing to get the treatment was the track. I found some ZIG painty pens that i used. I am about 3/4 done. I used the clay colored marker. They go on fast and easy only one coat needed. When i finish that I'm going to start weathering my buildings, rolling stock, and if i build up enough courage an engine or two. I just bought an airbrush on ebay and some paints from hobbylinc that arrived today so as soon as the airbrush gets here i will practice a little bit then when i weather my first car i will post pictures here. I think everything has turned out pretty good so far hopefully the rest of the weathering turns out that way as well.
