I started this video with reluctance, still reeling that that 'Underground Bloke' was a closet toy train entusiast! But I finished it rather impressed with your understated, but surprisingly successful upgrade. There were even faint stirrings of my childhood attempts to build a 'layout' and thoughts that, now I'm retired, I might just... But then realiy - and my wife - brought me rather abruptly back to earth. There still lurks that childhood desire for a garden railway, though, and I do have a rather nice garden now - and one of those Mamod steam train sets...
That was just what i was about to comment, myself! If nothing else jyst for the eye shadow tip. Many wives / girlfriends will have old eye shadow pallets with colours we can use thst have gone out of date or they just don't like the colours. Great tip!
I seem to remember that Wilson, Kepple and Betty used to get their sand from Leighton Buzzard, even taking some with them when they performed in Las Vegas. Unlikely, but, I hope, true. Go on - look them up.
You might do a railroad segment on the Railway Clearing House,and its effect on wagon design,and standards,because that wagon,was a 10/12 ton,Open Wagon design of the 1890's,and there were subsequent revisions,as metallurgy improved! Should be an interesting subject,as there were at one time,500,000 wagons based on that or similar designs! And,to top it all,they were hand braked,in the year of grace 1950! British rail designs were then 30 years behind the rest of the world! Even the former colonies had better equipment,and braking! One of those mean things,you didn't mention to your local politicians! Thank you for a CQD,modeling lesson ✨! Keep it up,you only get better,like good wine or cheese 🧀!
Ground up shell grit, for your budgie, can make good sand. Wagon looks the part, though I wonder if they may have originally treated the wood with creosote? Enjoying your content and presentation (and wit) from Australia.
Hi there, thanks for the upload. Have you ever watched any of the diorama videos by Luke Towan? I watched one video called something like ultra realistic muddy river diorama (or something like that) I’ve only watched a few, but his attention to detail (and rust and dust) is very satisfying to watch. If you haven’t seen it, I think that you might enjoy it. It shows the construction from beginning to end.... and it often includes a train. P.s - have no connection to that channel at all, just so you know 🙂🐿
I do rather enjoy his stuff, although I think my favourite is Black Magic Craft. I’m not into tabletop gaming, but I do like his videos on making stuff with basic materials.

The joy a man can have with a tray of mascara! Fabulous tip 👏👏👍😀
If ever a UA-cam presenter deserved 100K subs, it is Jago.
Very impressive. I will certainly be trying eye shadow for weathering powders.
Excellent job there!
Enjoy the video many thanks john
Welcome back to why does this guy not have 1k subs

Yes, pls do more vids like this. :)

Kulectunkull Interesting point - I’ll have to look into the creosote question. I must admit that I’ve been working from a purely visual perspective.

@@JagoHazzard - oh thanks, I’ll have a look 🐿
I liked your method. May I ask - did you spray it with matt varnish afterwards to seal in the powders ?
Scooby2142 I didn’t bother - the weathering has stayed pretty intact on its own so far.
