Congregations to the Winner, Julie Bell. That was a very nice weathering job. Tony. I have to stop making models as I never will get the layout started. Back to College tomorrow and when the students come back maybe I can get the woodwork shop to make the baseboards. Martin. (Thailand)
Hi Martin. you could get the students to build them for you are part of there curriculmn...the iron ore wagons do look good. and so simple to do using the weather paints...until next time all the best Tony ( England )

Great job on the Iron ore wagons Tony. The use of the weathering powders to colour the loads is very cleaver and it turned out looking fantastic! so did the rest of the wagon so good on you for getting into it! Congrats to Edd West Haven is a great name I'm sure he will enjoy his prize. - Nicholas.

Tony those waggons take me back at least 65 years to a terraced house in Stanley next to the Consett line the whole house used to shake when the ore train passed by. The to waggons look very realistic.
Hi Len Welcome to the comments page. That must have been awsome seeing these beasts pass by your house day in and day out. you have descibed them as shaken the house. must have very scary and noisy. thank you for telling us about your memories....stay safe all the very best Tony
Another amazing result Tony.

Well done to Ed.

Enjoy your bank holiday
Keep safe arp
Hi there Adi. i am good thanks. i hope that you are the keeping well also. i will mate. i have started the new project already lifting up the old track ready for the new track plan. stay safe my friend..Tony
Hi Tony
Good work on making the loads and weathering them . I will weather all my wagons first off give them a black or grey wash which brings out the details and gives something for the powders to grip to. As John mentioned WWS powders are good value as you get large tubs . I also use pastels and scrape them onto chassis to give a rust effect or grind them into powders ( nice and cheap 😀)
Cheers Kev
Hi Kev. i like nice and cheap. especially the way that everything keeps going upin price at the moment. thanks for the tips....all the best Tony
Hiya Tony, another great video and the wagons look fantastic. The weathering powders are very strong and go a long way. I opted for the DCC Concepts ones and for the little bit I have used them, I found them to be great. Another one in the bag and still watching the older ones too. All the best mate, speak soon..Chris n Jules
Thanks 👍, It was great to chat to you the other day. i have had a busy weekend. as i finally visited the grand kids for the last first time in over two years due to covid and other things.they live in plymouth not an easy journey from portsmouth. it was great to see their little faces.
nice to see that you are busy with diorama's. stay safe my friend. best wishes Tony & laura
Great job on the ore wagons Tony, from sorting the bogies out plus the loads and the weathering of them. They look an amazing consist behind the 9F. Congratulations to Edd on winning the competition, Im sure you will enjoy having the ore wagons on your layout.
Good morning Steve. Its been nice to do something a little different for a change. instead of building stuff. yes i am sure he will. stay safe my friend...have Great weeknd....cheer's Tony
Good bit of weathering Tony a really nice rake of trucks regards fred 👌😎
Hi Fred. i hope as is well, they turned out all right in the end. all the best Tony
Tony. The iron ore wagons look great, Another great show. Chris
Thank you Chris. I always like to entertain....all the best Tony
Good job on the wagons Tony, they really do look the part. On the subject of weathering powders, WWS to a great range and you get a decent sized tub, I bought a set for £20, which will last me ages. The other thing I have used and they’re pretty cheap are artist’s pastels, I bought an earth colour set which covers all the rusts and has a bright orange too. Only cost a couple of pounds from EBay. Scrape with a sharp knife and you get a fine powder and it does exactly the same thing as weathering powder.
It’s a great name for the new station West Haven, might have to twin towns, West Haven and Exehaven! Cheers Tony, Have a good week, John
Hi John. Thanks for the tip for using art pastels. never thought of using them. I have had a chat with Edd. and we have come agreement and called the Station Little Haven. after a beach in south shields. Twin Havens sounds great to me.. until next time stay safe. cheer's Tony
Hi Tony Great job on the wagons, well done mate.
Thank you, it is so easy to do i do recomend having a go. stay safe all the best Tony
Tony, You're done a really good job weathering the wagons. I'll be trying a little wagon weathering myself. Enjoy the weekend Simon
Hi Simon its so easy mate. if you put too much on you can rub it off again. and if it still dont look right a little tiny bit of soapy water and lots of Q tips. will remove the powder with no damage to the wagon. but let it totally dry before stating again. yes mate have a go...all the best Tony
Well Done Edd Herring, speek soon....cheer's Tony
great video I am now going to use some weathering powders to tone down some gloss varnish i put on new decals on my loco
Hi James that would work. loco's are a totaling different ball game as i am sure you know. there are some excellent photos out on the world wide web. i have not done a loco yet. but is something i will have a go at, at some point...thanks again for commenting. cheer;s Tony
Hi, great job. Amazing video, liked! Cheers Christian 😉
Hi Christian. I am glad that you liked the video.....have a great weekend..Tony
Edd Herring has asked me to donate the wagons to our second choice which would have been West Wylam from Julie Bell. well done julie please get in touch....best wishes Tony
West Haven is brilliant, well done Edd. But Mae West - just genius!
I've no idea if the weathering is 'correct', but those wagons look very impressive going round the North Eastern layout.
Congratulations though to the guys preparing your engine. They may have a dirty job, but they are going to look immaculate doing it!
Hi Chazzy, there was some cracking names for the station in the list. there is a photo in the video, but that looked a bit dark, maybe it was taken on a dull day. but on the whole i am pleased with the outcome....stay safe buddy, cheer;s Tony
I saw the photo, but I meant to say - i haven't seen such a thing in real life so I'm very happy to take your word for it!
There were lots of really good names, but 'Mae West' tickled me, as I'm sure many gentlemen of a certain age might have been very pleased to say!
Looking forward to seeing the development of West Haven, and I'm glad to see another pub opportunity!
yes me to. i have just been going what i have seen on internet. I have started already on west haven ripping up the single track....all good fun
Tha's a truly effective outcome with those ore wagons. Watching the train roll by I had a wee thought concerning the brake van: it too would near certainly accumulate(though less so) ore dust from the wagons it is trailing in a pattern from leading end to the rear; so how about appropriately dusting one up and keeping it part of the set?
Keep them coming!
Hi Ray. that seems like a great idea. idi weather it but maybe like you say add some ore dust...many thanks for your thoughts. cheers' Tony
good vid on you weathered you do tony on the channel look good well do to the winner thanks lee
Hi Lee thank you for commenting. stay safe....cheer's Tony
Evening Tony, just waiting for the family from Surrey. First of all manly congratulations to edd for winning the competition, it's a great name and a brilliant prize. Those wagons look fantastic going around the layout, very clever to have little cameos looking into windows it adds a whole new level of detail and interest to the story. Also its nice to see some of the hard work you've put into the detail in the building. I was watching Yorkshire dales railway this morning and Lewis was weathering a locomotive, he also says he doesn't varnish his models, if the weathering starts to rub off its easy enough to replace. And that way nothing's permanent. Anyway I should talk I've never had the courage to attack one of my models!! Maybe one day. Oh I think the car is just pulling up so have a good bank holiday looking forward to the new project, best wishes to all, Eddy Anne xxx
Good Morning Eddy. Yorkshire dales railway mouldy raspberry is one of my favourites. love his layout. scenary and everything is brilliant.
yes i wont be varnishing that is for sure. thats why most pre weathered locos are painted weathering on and it dont look right. have a great weekend and stay safe. look for to seeing you in the next video WEST HAVEN has started....stay safe best wishes Tony x Laura
Great looking wagons Tony, well done to Edd. I've found that using a ice cream container to place wagons in whilst weathering with powders helps collect it and you can easily tip the waste powder back into the container, I also wear a glove to stop finger print marks and with the glove you can smear streak marks etc. Take care and please remember to stay safe..
Hi Barry thank you for tips. it did get a bit messy. but i am still learning the ropes. until next time have a great weekend....stay safe Tony
Now, ordinarily if I we’re to say “what a mess” that might sound negative and a bit rude. But in this case it is a huge compliment! 🤣😂😅 Tony mate, those wagons look superb! Love that rusty powder! Really does look like that harsh orange tint that nasty rust takes, so it is spot on in my book 🤓 I’d maybe (being hyper-critical here) tone it down on the sides…but then again, I suspect with a bit of time the lustre will reduce and calm down a bit so it will actually look spot on! Leave it a while I reckon before you varnish it 💡
Brilliant mate! 👍🍀🍻
Hi Tim mate. its true they have to be in a mess. as they are working vehicles. spot on mate... i wont be varnishing them as i dont know whats in the powders. as sometime varnish react's with the powders... its great to hear you. all the best Tony
@@TONYNORTHEASTERN: yeah I know what you mean mate: some things act well with one type, another reacts badly 🙄 Then again, just give one a go and you never know, it might actually enhance the knackered look! 🤣😅😂
Nice wagons.
Thank you Steve. the powder paints worked wonders in the end...Cheer's Tony
Hi Tony another top video buddy 💯👍💯
Hello Dylan. i hope all is well. have a great weekend....cheer's buddy Tony
Tony, you could also take a look in the dollar store for some cheap pastel chalks. Or, as for my favorites, just plain ordinary pigment powders from your local art store. Those pigments really make a difference. They stick well and are true colors. It’s also amazing what kind of amount they sell in compared to those half filled one sandwich jam jars.
It’s not that I don’t wanna use or purchase the stuff from wws or other suppliers. They make a great range of products. However, what those modeling powders go for is beyond amazing. Added to the tiny amounts they sell by.
I’ve got some color powders from Pan Pastels. Those too look and work great. But they too sell only tiny portions.
At our favorite art store, I buy the pigments for 250-500 grams, so way larger quantity, on average for half the price of the brand names. Some pigments are of course more expensive. Or need special care when working with them. Next to those more expensive ones there’s enough choice in less expensive ones as very good alternatives. I just avoid the ‘handle with care ones.’ And I just mix ‘m; for too dark I’ve got this past date batch of tile grout. Just a pinch of a teaspoon does wonders. Naturally, mixing stirs some of it up. Heck, when doing such I definitely may look like a coal miner. Consequently, it all adds to the fun, of both the experiment, the artistic license and eventually experience.
Thanks 🙏 for another great TNE episode. Cheerio!!
Great Tip Vincent. never thought of looking in art shops. these pigments are not cheap £6,00 for a small pot. rip off Britain. any thing to do with hobby the big boys think it a licence to make money. but yes i will bare that in mind when i need some more. very much appreciate the money saving tip. many thanks Tony
@@TONYNORTHEASTERN you’re very welcome!
Really like how you did these iron ore wagons. Love the black shade on the bottom end, it really enhances the view on those wagons. Already whilst you were doing ‘m, and when running on the layout. That addition of such shade enhancement truly adds to the perspective of the model. The simplicity of how you’ve achieved this will definitely invite other people to improve their weathering.
Will check out the Tyne Dock channel.
Great Video Tony , What I have found with weathering powders is when you apply the varnish it totally destroys the powders effect , I would love to see a solution to this .
Hi David. you have got me thinking. i think your right varnish will like you destroy the look. i know from when i used the white powder on the night it took an get to removed the powder from the loco. its not easy to remove the weathering powders. soapy water and lots of Q tips...i think i will them as they are. but i will look around the you tube to see what others do....many thansk for your thoughts.....cheer's Tony
@@TONYNORTHEASTERN Thanks Tony , I can't find anyone who has a solution to this but if you find on I would very keen to see what you do. David
The iron ore wagons look amazing mate, and as you say, weathering powders make an easier job of it, no airbrush required. Grats to Edd for West Haven, great name for station. All the best n take care. Brian @ The Angels
Hi Brian. they do look good. i was nicely surprised when i had finnished the weathering. until next time stay safe. cheer's Tony
How’s this for an introduction? Welcome to “Back at the Bench”, with Tony North Eastern. 😂
Nice weathering job, Tony. Those wagons look more the part now.
Congratulations to the competition winner. Enjoy your iron ore wagons.
Looking forwards to the new developments on the layout. Have a good weekend. Best, Jason
I like the sound of that Jason. but there is problem i will be spending most my time at the base board, Ah yes when ever i am at the bench that would be a good shout. have a great weekend. all the best Tony
Is Mrs Simms asleep in one of the iron ore wagons, as they travel southwards towards the Midlands, the Westwards, across to Dragons Junction?
Hi Alan. Mrs simms heading over to dragon juction. i feel sorry for big Al. he wont get a word in when hes doing his videos....stay safe buddy...Tony
Check Out Tyne Dock 54B LINK ua-cam.com/video/XWocmoGgQho/v-deo.html
Thank you very much, great colour on the weathering, need to get some of the MIG light rust!
Hi Steve check your subs i think they have gone up....
the MIG light dust you should be able to get from your loco war hammer shop or model shop....all the best Tony
@@TONYNORTHEASTERN Yes, subs still increasing rapidly, thanks for the shout out. Minimum order for free postage on games workshop web shop only £20, probably cheaper to mail order, than driving and parking in town! Do use typhus corrosion for rust texture in conjuction with other pigments and colours. 👍
