Realistic Weathering Effects Every Model Railroader Needs to Know

In this episode we talk about taking some realtively simple actions to make your structure look like it's been around a while, and not just something you recently built and plopped down on the layout. There are a number of ways to do this, and I go through a few of them, including using a method to represent peeling paint on your model. If you've ever wanted to get into model trains, or build a small switching layout but didn't know where to start, this series is for you, because it's all about how to build a small layout! There's a lot to think about when building a train layout, especially in a tight space, and we'll cover everything you need to know on how to build a small layout. This is the nineteenth episode in the series on building a small HO scale layout. Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 02:05 - The Disappearing Fire Escape 03:37 - Take a Door, Leave a Door...
