Aging Nicely

I was just looking at this pic while idly scrolling through “My Pictures” here at work, and it struck me how nicely the KR colours are aging. Sure, it’s the KR1 scheme…and it could just be the lighting…


But all the colours are starting to be evened out; the red is going darker, the grey is getting lighter, the yellow is getting that lovely “rust” look on the roof…

Yummy.

Nice shot Drew. One day I'll try that level of weathering.

That really is yummy! BTW what ARE those white-blue-white-blue patches on the footplate sides? - SteveF

The White Blue patches are reflective stripes. They have them on most coal wagons as well but most of the time they seems too dirty with coal to work.
