Brand New
From the rear side cover: Although most model railway locomotives are produced in a pristine condition, in reality the external condition of most locomotives quickly deteriorated as operation and weather took their toll. Of all the skills associated with railway modelling, that of weathering locomotives is perhaps the most complex. It is very easy to spoil an otherwise beautiful model by the careless application of paint but as increasing numbers of modellers seek to create an ever more authentic feel for their layouts, information on the best methods of application becomes all the more important.
This practical new volume, a companion to the same author's books on Weathering Locomotives and Weathering Rolling Stock provides modellers of all abilities with a guide to the best principles and practice of weathering techniques and features a great selection of new projects on a range of steam, diesel and electric locomotives including multiple-units. As well as the popular 4mm scale, the author also includes examples of 7mm and 2mm scale models.
Following the same format as the rest of the 'Aspects of Modelling' series, the book's instructive text includes detailed tips, guidance, help and advice alongside instructional colour photographs and diagrams. Tim Shackleton is the former editor of Model Railway Journal, for which he has written almost 100 articles, and is the perfect guide around this artistic, yet highly technical area of railway modelling.
