I used to buy HAA hoppers because they ran past my work place in Nottingham. I bought 26 to make a rake of mid 80s wagons. I used silver, grey and black toner powder to weather mine. I would scrape off some panels to represent replacements and sometimes leave a few clean to represent newer wagons coming into service. I still have them on display if you'd like to see them.
In a word : Unbelievable. .... I've been watching wagon weathering videos for a few years now, and this has got to be the best yet. ... The small black square with the tiny white drops of paint to replicate the data panel is fantastic. .... Thank you for sharing. ... Looking forward to more
I know this is a small bit of what you do , but I very much enjoy it
Rusty and decrepit - just the way it should be!
You have a woman's hands... :P
