Ballasting

Here's a couple of videos showing how I ballast track on the Geneva Sub. Not too sure if I like being on camera. However, I figure if I keep doing it, I will get better at it and hopefully the videos will be more interesting. Of course, there's always the possibility that I wont get any better at which point I'll quit and stick to just trains on the screen!

Video Update Featuring 100% Weathered Fleet

Below is an update on the railroad featuring a 100% weathered fleet of rolling stock (not including locomotives). I'm hoping to do some ballasting this weekend yet and then I'll be tacking those non weathered locomotives.

BNSF Crosses the Diamonds in Rochelle II

I finally broke down and picked of a trio of BNSF units to pull trains across the Rochelle diamonds. I still need to get some rolling stock for the train so in the meantime I am borrowing a friends Norfolk Southern equipment.

In a few days I should be posting some pictures and video of all the newly weathered rolling stock.

Mass Weathering of Intermodal Fleet Video

Here's the video I promised. 

Mass Weathering of Intermodal Fleet

I decided to get started on weathering my intermodel fleet yesterday.  Rather than do one at a time, I weathered them all at once in mass.  I shot a video of the process which I will post today or tomorrow.  In the meantime here's a picture of the fleet just before the wheels came off and the airbrush powered up.
