WEATHERING is a great pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. It's enthralling and I love immersing myself in a new project and developing a model from a showroom fresh example into something which has the looks of a real working locomotive in miniature. I started my journey into weathering in the 1990s when I was modelling in 'N' gauge. Back then it was a simple process for me which barely scratched the surface of the potential of this subject. In recent times I've grown my skills more than I thought I could. This is thanks to the support of Hornby Magazine weathering expert and co-author of this Weathering Skills Guide, Tim Shackleton. Listening to and learning from specialists such as Tim is perhaps the very best way of developing modelling skills and if you ever have the opportunity to discuss the subject first hand with a demonstrator at a model railway exhibition take the opportunity!
