The railroad world is surrounded by a romantic aura that stirs up our imagination with images of travel and
adventure, mystery, romance, passionate reunions and painful farewells.
Railway models unite the passion for models and that romantic feeling conjured up in our minds by the noise
of train engines, steam whistles, the rattling of tracks, the smoke of the chimneys and even the sound metallic
sound of squealing brakes.
Thanks to the excellent variety of railway miniatures available today, we can acquire practically any railroad car
or locomotive model that we like complete with great details and pre-painted livery. For most railway modelers,
this is more than enough at first. When we are taking our first steps into the hobby we just want to put the
model on the tracks and begin to run it as soon as possible. But as time passes, we cannot avoid the realiza-
tion that the toy-like appearance these miniatures have straight out of the box is not enough. Although these
models do have very nice molded details, they do not seem real. What if we could make them authentically look
like real trains in miniature? What if we could reflect in scale, the passage of time and the experiences these
machines have gone through? What if we could give them life? You can do it, trust me.
With the help of some of the best modelers in the world, we are going to show you how to transform these
toy-like models –as they came out of the box– into amazingly real-looking miniatures using different painting
and weathering techniques and products specifically designed to easily represent realistic effects. All these
simple techniques are clearly explained and illustrated with step-by-step instructions accompanied by high-
quality photographs, which will allow you to depict your railway models with the specific amount of wear and
tear you want.
If you are avid railroad modeling aficionado and already have a nice layout with tracks, stations, and landscape
in place, this book will teach you how to paint and weather the locomotives and rolling stock to the highest
standard, and even create small scenes within the layout to bring the viewer´s attention to certain parts of the
scenery such as track sidings, structures, and other unique features in an original and striking manner.
But it is not a pre-requisite to have a full-fledged setup to enjoy these small marvels. Stand-alone railway models
can be amazing works of art all by themselves when packed with eye-catching effects to proudly dress up your
display cabinets and expand your collection.
Of course railway models are an excellent foundation from which we can create beautiful static small scenes or
dioramas, bursting with realistic and attractive details as you will see in these pages.
Join us on this wonderful run down the rails that will lead us from toy to truly realistic ground work, locomotive,
and rolling stock with all the bells and whistles. You are sure to be both inspired and informed for your next
project.
