Taking The Shine Off Your Model Trains And Structures

Shiny surfaces can spoil the realism of any model railroad. Shiny surfaces can make structures and rolling stock look fake as though they have just come out of the packaging.

A simple way to remove that shine is to overspray the structure or rolling stock with Dullcote (Testors #1260 clear flat lacquer overcoat). Dullcote is available at most hobby stores/model railroad stores and comes in a small spray can like many other model car paint colors.
