Explanation:
typo, should read 'geweatherde', a 'Dutchification' of weathering: to make it look like it's been used on a track.

Explanation:
try Googling 'geweAtherde treinen'...

E.g. "Ik zit een beetje met een dilemma. Sommige wagens wil ik zelf enigszins weatheren/vervuilen, maar stel je voor dat ik zo'n model weer eens wil verkopen (er zit wel wat doorstroming in m'n verzameling). Betekent dit dan dat de zelf geweatherde wagen moeilijk(er) verkoopbaar is en/of in waarde is gedaald? "
http://www.beneluxspoor.net/index.php?topic=23069.0

-> "Weathering refers to the process of making a model train appear to have been exposed to the elements, or to have the appearance of age and use. Weathering gives a new dimension of realism to a model train. In some cases, a collector may even choose to severely weather a model train, going so far as to damage the train body to make it appear to have derailed or have been damaged in some other way."
