This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

Finished weathering my Atlas HTw's and HTf's.I always like weathering the inside of an open hopper,really makes it stand out when running empty.

Lets take a look at the eight units.First up the HTw's in the original scheme.I applied the weathering heavier on these two to give them the look of being in service for quite awhile.
Two views of side one of both cars.   View of side two on both units.  Next up in the HTw class.These units had the simpler scheme,no herald.I added a lighter weathering to these units. View of side one.  Side two.  These four units are Atlas factory paints.I added the aci decals and weathered. |

Lastly four HTf units.The first two are Atlas factory paints the seconded two units started as undecorated models.The were painted using SCII engine black and the decals are from HK.the RDG decals seem to be thicker then those applied by Atlas.

Before and especially after watching the eagles go down in flames(again)I added some weathering to two factory painted units.
Atlas MP15 2771.   2771 with three sisters.I plan on adding additional weathering to these three units or maybe ordering undecorated shells from Atlas and redoing them all together.The shade of green just doesn't seem right to me.  Closer views of the lash up.   |
