Realistic Weathering
Realistic Train Models is specialized in Weathering HO locomotives and railcars. Each Model is hand painted / patinated. Traces of dust, grime and rust are applied in multi layers high quality paint to give them a more realistic look. In other words, each Weathered Train Model is unique and one of a kind.
A varnish toplayer is applied with airbrush to give each model the perfect finish and protection. Watch the difference between the locomotive straight from the factory and the locomotive weathered for a customer.

Why Weathering a brandnew locomotive ? Model locomotives straight from the factory look extremely clean. They breathe the image of freshly painted Museum Locomotives. In reality most locomotives are Work Horses, they have to work hard, pulling heavy trains day and night. There is no time for cleaning and painting, resulting in lots of dust, grime, corrosion and sometimes rust. Realistic TrainModels is about workhorses. Each model is hand painted and a unique piece of art. Weathered locomotives are more pleasant to look at. Below an impression how weathered locomotives perfecly fit an HO scenary
