The new Hudsons presented a terrific opportunity to compare two very different styles of weathering. The light weathering engine is owned by Gary (Superwarp), and the other by a client in Arkansas. Both engines were shipped directly to Harry H. by Mr. Muffin (Steve).

I like the "Light weathering". I had Harry weather my engine lightly, as if the engine was 10 years old, but still well maintained. It came out perfect. I had an engine heavily weathered as if it was at the end of the steam era. Harry did a great job. I was perfectly satisfied. But it was if in my layout world, the crew and maintenance didn't care. I sold it, but since have regretted it because of the great job Harry did on it.

Mr. Muffin was impressed as well with Harry's work. That says a lot.

I think weathering can be overdone. Most real trains I see have more faded paint than looking really dirty.

I like the light weathering or maybe only a very light coating of dust on the lower half. Makes things pop out. Having a mix of old and new buildings means weathering on the older buildings at least.

Not a fan of heavy weathering unless layout is themed to look authentically weathered.

It's all or nothing IMHO. Once you start weathering one thing, your eyes lead to other elements on the layout and expect similar touches. For the most part, I'd say weathering looks most at home on 3RS pikes like Norm C's, where ultra-realism reigns supreme. BTW, where is Norm C? We gotta get him posting HERE.
