Model Railroader Classroom Series Trailer | Learn essential skills for assembling, detailing, and weathering freight cars with an all-new, multi-lesson video series set to stream on Trains.com Video! Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, this Model Railroader Classroom series is designed to help you build better freight car models – in any scale!
Hosted by David Popp, Model Railroader magazine’s expert layout builder, the lessons cover a range of techniques, from constructing freight car kits for reliable operation to using powdered pastels to create overall dust and rust effects to applying intricate weathering with oil paints and colored pencils. The series uses a standard HO scale (1:87.1) freight car kit to demonstrate all of the techniques that will lead you closer to the goal of building realistic models for your layout.
Enjoy this video trailer, plus the initial lesson (“Freight Car Class: Lesson 1, Kit Building Basics”), and then watch for the remaining sessions to appear exclusively on Trains.com!
