Trix Marklin Big Boy Weathered with Revolution Sound
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Features a QSI Revolution DCC decoder. Speakers are located in the tender and in the smoke box. The speaker inside the tender is a 1.22" High Bass. The forward speaker inside the smokebox under the stack is a 35x16.5mm small oval speaker. I weathered the locomotive using Bragdon Enterprise adhesive powders and airbrushed acrylic paints from Floquil/PolyScale. See my video about steam weathering here: • Weathering A B&O EM-1 ...
This locomotive has a superb quality weathering job, the paint on the boiler looks very battered, worn and realistic.
Weathered equipment often looks real, but clean always looks like a toy. This unit looks great.
Beautifully done, very impressive weathering. I am always amazed about Marklin's smooth low speed control.
gorgeous, brilliant work... "first rate" just doesn't seem to describe what you have done! sir, you've got a growing cottage industry for yourself if you want it...LOL there's a huge after market for the weathering and for the additional sound you've done here. my hat's off to you. i've seen the weathering work of other modelers & you are second to none. if I had a big boy I'd give it you & pay just about anything within reason to have you do to my engine what you've done to yours. thank you. sounds & looks fabulous!!!
That slow motion is the best I have seen
This loco has the best slow start and slow RUN I have seen !!
These are BEAUTIFUL trains! I wish I was still able to do the hobby. Well have some fun for me!
Excellent, a perfect job on a perfect locomotive. Congratulations!!!
Very nice weathering job on the Big Boy.
Absolutely stunning. Amazing skill! Congratulations on your remarkable skills.
Very good job! It look so realistic. Märklin has just released a "new items" for the summer of 2013 which is weathered from the factory, but your model looks even better. They should hire you to do their weathering :-)
I'm sold on this brand because of it's super smoothness and realism while moving in very slow speed. Out of two other brands, this model performs the best in this important category. Nice job on the weathering, here in the states realism comes complete with graffiti.
You sir are an artist!!! Magnificient, thank you for sharing
Butlers Modelling Thank you, besides DCC and handlaying track, weathering is one of my favorite aspects of model railroading
Im brand new to the channel and love this video
R.I.P. Union Pacific 4015 (the last Big Boy to run in regular service).
What a great job! I'm a "UP guy" and I've seen quite a few color photos of UP steam. You did a nice job on that weathering! Looks like it has done a few trips up and down Sherman Hill. What decoder did you use? It captured the "off beats" of an articulated loco. What speakers did you use?
Great weathering job. I assume the strobe in the cab is supposed to be flash from the backhead? It's too regular, looks like a beacon light in the cab instead...
That slow speed is amazing, the gearing must be very low?, I think ALL our locos are geared way too high!, diesels included, gearing them down would solve many problems!
That is abeautiful machine!
Great weathering job-
Excellent job and great video. Wouldn't some of the drive linkage and pistons be shiny?
SUPER FANTASTIC MODEL
Spectacular
Nice job Erik!, Hour and a half???it'd take me that long to open the paint tins..LOL.
Lovely work mate!
Cheers Gregg
fantastic work, looks great, i am too scared to do what you have done...lol
Really nice job. The sound though doesnt get the same high quality marks as the weathering, especially the whistle sound is poorly looped, one can hear without being specialized in hearing loop samples where the loop begins - perhaps due to use of outdated sampling procedures dating from the beginning of sound sampling some ten years ago.....
Fantastic job well done
Impressive!
I'm sprechless ! What a look !
Oh My GOD! That is amazing looking! How much would you charge for me to send my big boy in for this treatment?
Thank you for the kind words. Only did it for myself, but check out Tony's for all you other modeling needs tonystrains.com/
Tonys Trains you have a great talent to weather locos. I think you could make this into a cottage industry if you wished. Great job
Yea, me too
Just got my legacy 4014 and the paint job looks like someone took a can of high gloss black and just sprayed it sucks. A huge disappointment. I think the Chinese are pissed at us
How did you fit such a large speaker in the tender? When I opened up my Trix Big Boy's tender, there didn't seem to be much room inside. Did you fit it sideways as in standing up?
There is no substitute for Quality/First rate!
This is the way Trains Should look , weathered and road worn . Excellent Work Dude . Is this better quality then Broadway Limited ? Stay Cool 😎
Thank you for your kind words. In my opinion, the Trix Big Boys are probably the finest HO scale North American locomotives made. The mechanical engineering is 1st rate!
The windows must always be clear! I see you did dirty the windows too.
Wow, what a beauty!!!
Absolutly incrdible, I might have to do the same with my Trix Big Boy :)
+ Tony's Train Exchange. Hey Man, great video quick question, where did you get this from? I can't seem to find it anywhere
VERY well done!!!
Pretty impressive!
once again very impressived , I gotta say tho , i see 1 dislike , 22 likes , and it poses the question , whats with the dislike , is it an envy thing because the hater either cant afford such a model , or is he an extremely talented artist with an ego bigger than the real locomotive ... either way .. gotta love the haters (rolls eyes) great work and awesome vid , love your work
really nice
great job could you do the same to my n scale challenger
what scale is this?
Is Marklin the manufacturer of this h o Loco ?
+Clinton Wurzbach
Trix is a Marklin but DC model
What is the scale of the loco ?
***** 1:87 as any Märklin model
+Calvin Mills Hmmm. Not "any"... Some. ;)
You can get Märklin models in 1:220(Z), 1:160 (ex Minitrix), 1:87 (Märklin, ex Trix), 1:32 (Märklin) and 1:22,5 (ex LGB).
Thanks for asking this question. I was wondering the same.
How did you apply the powders, with a brush or airbrush?
I want one. And I don't even do steam. I don't give a shit. I still want one. BTW, beautiful awesome job on yours. I'll be on ebay sinking my ass even further into debt. ;)
You should make a script or outline and follow it for your narration. That will prevent you from having to edit out things.

Your weathering is overdone. It is reminiscent of a static display left out in the elements for twenty-thirty years. Too many heavy streaks of gray (oxidized paint?). But then, to the casual observer it doesn't look too bad. UPRR washed its locomotives regularly to help prevent the gray you depict. Duco Dulux - the paint used on the vast majority of steam engines - never oxidized like this under actual service conditions. Granted that there will be weathering from dirt and rust, and some chemical residue from blow-down areas near the pop valves and cylinder cocks, but not that much . . . to each his own. That's the difference between 'scale' and 'it probably would look like this' modeling. Accuracy is in the eye of the beholder.
yada yada yada
the pandeslar watch "last of the Giants part 1" it features some big boys that look just like this towards the end of their service. the UP would seldomly wash reserve units unless they were getting used for a special purpose. maybe the owner of the Loco is modeling the time frame where these were phased out

I would contrast that with this model and say the model is understated and typical of usage
Why spend $ 1000 for a Trix big boy when you can get a much better one from MTH, alone Broadway or Genesis , Trix are garbage pullers next to a Broadway limited big boy ,
I just saw a video of an unboxing of the Trix and the reviewer from his accent and money talk is from the UK. He said he paid 100L (pounds) for his Trix Big Boy, brand new. I guess that's over $200 US, not bad.
John S I know some people have spent over $900 for them here in the states ,now I'm not sure if that's online or hobby shop ,but to my hats high , I model the Pennsy and their GG1 were over &580 , that's almost double everybody else's
Robert Swickard because Marklin products are well known for quality and durability. Their warranty and customer service also aren't abysmal and a joke like MTH's. Their Big Boy is a high quality model and performs just as well as the competition.
