Mass Weathering of Intermodal Fleet

This video shows how I mass weathered a large number of intermodal well cars. My goal was not to put a lot of detail into the effort. Instead, my goal was to take away the plastic shine and give the cars an overall lightly weathered appearance. Someday, down the road, I may add more details like grime, graffiti, rust, etc. For now though, this method makes them look good without taking too much time. After all, I still have 80 cars and 8 engines to do as well as build a large Union Pacific n scale model railroad layout!

Although this saves alot of time, it just makes everything look the same. They look good but to identical. But that is just me, lol. Nice video 2 Thumps Up!

@ohiosouthern You're correct about the sameness, but the idea is to do a lot of them at a time so that I can get all weathering completed and then move on to continuing to build the layout. Later, I can come back and add details.

@Rochsub Any chance of the paint adversely affecting the function of the couplers?
