- This next weathering how to will cover some of my techniques for weathering a dirty, beat up, UP patched gondola. In the past we have covered techniques for lightly weathering rolling stock, but this video will cover all my techniques for creating grungy, nasty looking heavy grime affects.

For trucks, wheels, freight car bodies and locos to add rust I use REAL rust. I take a roll of fine steel wool and put it into a quart jar and fill it up with white vinegar and set it on a window sill so the sun can shine on it. After a month or two, I pour the liquid out into a stainless photo tray from my darkroom (10X14). After it is completely dry I use a single edged razor blade scraper and scrape the rust out of the tray. It usually comes out as a fine powder. I then store it in a snuff container. Depending on how long you leave the steel wool in the vinegar my batches come out with different colors of rust, i.e., some are orange and others are a deeper colored red. When I get ready to use it I put several scoops of my rust into a plastic communion cup (neat little cups for mixing paints) and add some alcohol, Elemer's white glue and a dab of water soluble glycerin. Then I just brush it on. If I want an area where the rust has eaten through the metal (plastic) I use my X-acto knife and make some gouges in the sides of a car and fill it up with my rust. To seal the rust I usually topcoat it with a flat acrylic clear coat. It looks very realistic 'cause it is REAL rust! Happy Railroading!
WOW!!
Great video ! Very nice job ! Thanks very much for sharing and keep up the good work !
Excellent, professional narration and masterful weathering.
Man these look great. I've switched hundreds of these old Mo-Pac gondolas and they're all fairly consistent as far as how rough they look. The paint held up relatively well for the 30+ year old paint most of them have, but it's scratched, dented, dirty like you captured here. The insides of some gons look almost like Swiss cheese, but for some reason this group held up OK on the sides and have that constant fresh rust color. Next thing to try is getting them to smell bad. Usually they have a little nasty muddy "stank water" in the bottom of them that smells to high hell. That would be some prototype modeling right there!
Sweeeet! well done. The secret is out, you're actually a reformed tagger!! LOL nice video.
Your techniques for the truck and wheel weathering are fantastic and I'll be using those from now on. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
