			Now go to the trigger properties. Set Weathering to ''Type 1'' and offset to '''OFFSET VALUE'''. Assuming the trains drives with 10 miles per hour it takes '''AMOUNT OF SECONDS'''. to pass the trigger. The offset is used to make it more realistic when one after another vehicle is cleaned.
			Done.
			Now drive your train and clean it.

			We do a train wash station where a train drives in dirty and leaves clean. The train will drive into a building and leaves it later on so it must support tracks. I take '''SET NAME OF OBJECT HERE''.

			'''Change Weathering in-game'''

			You can do many things out of your imagination with the weathering, like change it with weather or do special tasks like drive the trains into a train wash station.
			To get started you need one of the supported trains and the activation trigger from dlc. Look for ''' <KUID:935657:2100252> 3DZ Change Weathering'''.
			Ones downloaded you just put the trigger where you want it and do the setup. You can set the weathering you want to apply and an offset per vehicle.

	~~[[file~~:~~Static_weathering.png]]~~		The offset is used to have delay when the weathering is being applied.

	Almost all American Pro Train vehicles support weathering which means that you can alter the visual apperance of the train in game. This can be changed in the properties tab of the vehicle and works per vehicle. You can choose between three levels: clean, dirty and very dirty which is called 'Weathering Type 1' to 'Weathering Type 3'.

	This can be done for the vehicle and the trucks (bogey) individually. You can set the vehicle to 'Weathering Type 2' but the truck to 'Weathering Type 3' for example.
