Simulating seasonal variations is a common theme for many modellers who wish to model specific times of the year, such as a sunny summer's day on the beach or a winter scene such as a Christmas sleigh ride. Modelling a rainy day is perhaps not the most obvious choice for a layout but with a little care and creative thinking can be a very interesting approach to take. One of the benefits of modelling a rainy day is that it can occur at any time of year and inevitably can be applied to a great variety of layouts regardless of the theme.
Modelling a rainy day can add an interesting layer of detail to a layout and can easily be achieved by using a variety of techniques as detailed below.
Overall, creating a realistic wet look on your model railway layout requires experimentation and creativity.
