How can I weather an ho scale train?
I want to make one of my engines look like its worked a long hard life.
Or, there are spray cans of "instant weathering" available at most railroad hobby stores. I use it for weathering buildings and some rolling stock. When it comes to weathering expensive locos ($400 and up), I hire someone with much more skill than I to do the job. Yeah it costs more, but then I don't have a several hundred dollar piece of junk on my hands when it's done.
Depending on the era you model, heavy weathering is not indicated. For example, in my transition era modeling, some steam engines had a very short life (like the last AC12 built for the SP #4294, out-shopped in '42 and retired not long after), so a new-ish looking model is appropriate. My earlier AC11s and AC12s are lightly weathered. Conversely my AC4s and AC5s, MM6 and MT4s are heavily weathered, as are my logging engines (two Shays and a Heisler).
All of my ATSF steam engines are lightly weathered, appropriate for desert service.
My entire F7, GP9 and GP7 diesel fleet appears new, except for weathering on one A-B-B-A consist that is used in snow service (a dirty business).
And I'll second the "happy hobbying!"
