The book was prepared by an international team of top modelers—specialists in realistic painting of railway models in virtually all scales, from the most popular H0 (1/87) and N (1/160), through exceptionally precise 1/35 or 1/48 scale models, all the way to larger static displays. The authors show, through practical examples, how to break the raw factory look of locomotives and rolling stock by adding weathering, dirt, rust, and streaks characteristic of real machines—regardless of era, country, or type of rolling stock.

This publication contains dozens of techniques and products that enable you to achieve the effects required for models from the 19th century, through the golden age of railways in the 20th century (the era of steam, electrification, and infrastructure modernization), all the way up to the present, when models have reached the highest level of detail.
