Laoch's SP Layout, Episode 26: How To Weather Wheels

This project was supposed to last me the weekend but I went non stop at it and weathered wheels and swapped couplers on 25 cars in about 8 hours. I took a break in there somewhere, lol.

I used a 3 pack of Floquil paint pens to weather my wheels. I used Rust on the majority of trucks and wheels and Rail Tie Brown on a few. I swapped out the McHenry couplers on my Athearn fleet with a 25 pair package of Kadee #148 standard head couplers.
