That was a good weathering video. One suggestion, I would have the bristles of the Brush cut down to Half the Length of the Original length. Then I would have another paint brush with even shorter Bristles about 1/8th inch from the feral of the brush. Just a varieties of brushes that I have to use when weathering with powders.
Another option... attach wooden dowels to a piece of scrap wood(sharpened to a point in a pencil sharper) to hold the trucks while painting. no need to play with removing nails or holding upside down.
JD Mills The flat black or brown spray is usually enough. So I leave the trucks as is, once completed. As I’ve found a dull-coat knocks down the effects of weathering. We do not handle our cars much, once completed...but if ya have cars handled a lot? It never hurts to seal ‘em with a spray of dull-coat.
I'll do my best to put together another update video. Thank you for tuning in, please share with with others, if you're enjoying these episodes. Take Care.
+WSampsonite10 Ive ran trains at your dads layout. Last time I was there I brought 2 ICE sd40-2s but they didnt want to work. I think they were just in a consist so I got rid of the consist and they haven't been ran since.
mrlionel1965 Great point! Generally I weather from photos and apply color based on what’s in the image. Thank you for sharing your take on the process.
I live by a CSX mainline and the trucks just look black like yours. I do love the blow hopper truck that are sometimes whiteish from the material. Great video and good ideas for me to use. I like the assembly line process. Should work great for a unit train.
John R I respectfully disagree, highlight white leaves a lighter base to apply the subtle effects of the added tones. The white and black leave a grey tone. You have your right to your own opinion, it’s just one I disagree with. As an artist/modeler, there’s a reason for everything being done.
And give a very nice, cherry on model railroading and I like the grunge I like the guy there is brunch at the end
I’m not sure if I totally understand the comment, but as always, it’s great to hear from fellow modelers.

Kevin, excellent suggestion!

Do you use a dullcote to seal or do you find it will remain on truck?

Can you do a video of what you have done on your layout? So far.

Although it looks ok, it really defeats the purpose of applying rust to the wheel then going back over it in black. The wheels should be rusted only.

Using highlight white is a waste of time you cover it up with black and rust
