Mastering the Art of Weathering Your Train Models

Weathering is a crucial technique for adding authenticity to your train miniatures. Whether you’re aging a locomotive or adding rust to freight cars, these weathering techniques mimic the effects of time and use. By focusing on small, subtle details, you can make your trains look like they’ve been in service for years. Click the link and read more articles about creating realistic train miniatures.

Guys I made my first diorama (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

I worked on it for several monthes (I made the cherry trees a looong time ago by the way, when I just created this account !) The diorama now has its place in my father's model railroad :)

Miniature Trains

[woodland-scenics]

my shelf display model is now completed, WM #208 looks really good on it! i started working on this in december and it's finally done. I'm overall pleased with how it came out, but there's definitely a few things i could improve on for my next project.

Made a tiny train. Track is 4 cm in diameter.

Working on a new, huge piece of terrain for mini games - 4 train cars in the middle of a heist. And obviously no train is complete without a shitton of graffiti, so...

The tender car is almost done, the engine about 30%. Wife and i have been playing nobody saves the world, hence nobody and the rat getting place of pride 😁

Something I realized today: Garden-scale model trains (G scale) are the right size for Sylvanian Families / Calico Critters.

Things I am aggressively not doing: starting a model train layout for my Critters.

Really.

If you’re reading this, you can have this idea for free. Enjoy, good luck and let me see your layout when you’re happy with it. XD

My sister is an adult with autism and is hyper fixated on Thomas The Tank Engine.

Now because my sister is hyper fixated on Thomas The Tank Engine, specifically the Thomas And Friends version. She watches it all the time on the main tv. I support my beautiful drinking age sister with my life but if I have to watch a single episode of Thomas And Friends my brains might actually literally melt out of my skull.

HOWEVER, I would love to watch the original Thomas The Tank engine with her. This is because it is largely set on an actual (Miniature) set with actual little model trains with faces. The train's faces are kind of ugly but that is their CHARM.

Thomas Gets Tricked (Season 1, Episode 1, US, George Carlin)

The miniature models are absolutely gorgeous. LOOK AT THAT FREAKING TRAIN STATION OOOOOOHHHHH MYYYY GODDDD. THE ACTUAL WATER ON THE SET.... THAT IS SO DAMN GORGEOUS.

The trees and the railways, and watching the actual little train models go around is gorgeous. I would happily ignore whatever the story is in favor of just watching little trains go. After one minute precisely of research, I have found that the change to CGI was because of budgetary issues, and because the sets kept catching on fire. But we have ~MODERN~ ~TECHNOLOGY~ and also it would kick major ass. We could use LED lights instead of regular old lights, which would generate heat and catch junk on fire. We could make it so that the faces on the trains and people don't need to be swappped out. WE COULD MAKE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BEARABLE. We can keep all the original voice actors from the CGI Thomas And Friends, so that everything is mostly the same. We could update the models of the people and the trains! We could sell Expensive versions of the little model trains! We could re-do the live action sequences where we learn about Real Life Trains!!!!

WE NEED TO MAKE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE AUTISTIC AGAIN.
