Mineral wagon interiors

I tend to do mineral wagon interiors a rust colour, but other people insist they would be dull metal or caked with whatever the wagon had been carrying. What do people think?

I model OO (although I have an interest in OO9 and N gauge). Aside from railways I like Rugby, knitting and good food.

    A combination of both .For example coal wagons….coal dust,little water lying around. So rust maybe in corners.Always think where will water run and sit. Cheers Steve.

      I’d not thought about water collecting in empty mineral wagons. there is another effect I could go for, so long as I don’t over-do it.

    I do the insides in a steel colour and then dry-brush a bit of rust colour here and there in particular where the top edges are likely to come in contact with whatever is loading the tracks, ie; JCB / grab from over-head loader, etc. much the same as a container gets rusty around the lifting tackle on the roof and fork lift slots in the base.

      As others have said the ‘Worlds you lobster’ or whatever shell fish you prefer. Although they don’t stay new for long rail companies obviously do buy new so a rake of 5 would look good. Then there are the battered ones they are replacing and everything in between. Above all just have fun!!!
