I’ve been putting off weathering my stock and loco’s for a very long time! Partly concentrating upon progressing the layout, but also I’m hopeless at art … and don’t have an airbrush! Really inspirational video and simple techniques … very tempting to practise on a few older carriages, wagons and loco’s as I’ve got the Humbrol washes and weathering powders! 👍
This is the video I've been looking for. Just ordered some dark brown wash and smoke weathering powder. Lovely.
Good informative video, it would be good to see how to weather an N gauge steam engine!
Great demonstration. Thank you very much.
Wonderful video
Really simple. Thanks, I have over 700 wagons to weather in N!!! It will be interesting to see what variations I can get on like for like wagons. Cheers, Bob
Very impressive results.
Quality
Turning the end product around so we could see your clean start point would have been interesting?
Thank you for the video however you said absolutely nothing at the end about whether it’s necessary to seal the weathering powders and dry brushing with some sort of matt coat? I’m relatively new to the hobby but I want to try and avoid having to put any matt varnish seal any locomotives. But having used weathering pavers a bit, if you don’t seal this it’s gonna come off every time we touch the item.
People dirty the windows too much, I worked as a secondman at Shirebrook West in the heart of the coal fields and the windows on our 08s 20s 31s 37s 47s and 56s did not have filthy windows, May try your technique may save me paying Tmc everytime although they do make a good job.
Do you need to Matt varnish to seal the weathering, or isn’t that really necessary? Very simple steps, might have a go myself at that. 👍🏻
Phil doesn't worry - the weathering doesn't wear off unless you handle a loco a LOT. And if it does, touching it up again is quick and easy. Also, the varnish can alter the look of the weathering.
@@world-of-railways thank you for your reply, it certainly is helpful to a complete novice like me. 👍🏻
Hi. Phil mentions 'dirty brown' for one of the humbrol enamel paints - what actual humbrol number paint is this? Thanks
Track Colour - Humbrol 173
What exact paints are you using? Thanks
Great video, i am just about to start weathering. One question, Do you seal it with a lacquer at all ??
Are you going to weather an 0 gauge wagon to show the difference? I always send my engines to TMC, I’m not that brave. Thanks for sharing, Mel
We'll have a look at an O gauge wagon in the future - thanks for the suggestion!
