Great Gondola
It’s amazing how an application of weathering powder, paint washes, and other techniques can make a stock model look like a veteran piece of equipment that’s seen years of service. Walter Sobchakk realistically weathered this WalthersMainline RailGon gondola and added patched reporting marks and conspicuity stripes.

A lonely line
Track is a model too, as exemplified in this scene from Mountain Goat Models. Weeds sprouting between slightly askew ties and rusty rail help capture the look of a lightly traveled backwoods line. Click on the arrows to check out more views of the scene.

And They’re Off!
Two modern-era thoroughbreds race around the bend somewhere in the Alleghenies. Poster @ns_csx_mytownmodeler found inspiration in the modern-era mainlines of Pennsylvania when he began building this 6 x 10-foot HO railroad.
