I haven't weathered a model in a while and never had a car with a white roof. Looking for ideas. The car will represent one that is three years old that traveled from the southern US to the east coast of Canada occasionally.

Perhaps a wash on the roof followed by some chalk brushed on?

I don't know why, but I just assumed that everybody knew how to solvent weld plastics like styrene.  I guess it's something I've known for so long that I forgot I had to learn it somewhere.  So, in the spirit of teaching and sharing what I've learned, I'l pass on this tip and a little explanation of why it works.  Hopefully you'll never again feel the need to reach for ACC or Super Glue when you want to bond two pieces of styrene.

Saw this on an auction site. The modeling is just as stunning as the asking price. Purportedly the builder did this in about 825 hours of work over 4-1/2 months.

I rarely do any Facebook stuff, but wondering who here mentions their model railroading on their Facebook page?

I don't/haven't, and just today I realized none of my close friends actually know what I do outside of work (and guitar-playing and -building and -refinishing), and my close friends go back to, really, the Carter years.  Most are from Jr High and High School in the Eighties (I graduated in a class of 63 in 1986- we're all pretty tight though separated by distance and face-to-face, but they're all family to me).
