I hope this uploading at 7:00am is just a programed event and not when you do your modelling. Seriously though, it is so good to see someone employing pin wash and highlighting as on other disciplines of plastic modeling. The coaches really "pop" afterwards.
Luckily for me, they’re scheduled 😂 Thankyou, I always find it strange when people say ‘but that’s a war modelling technique!’..yeah, and it looks great, so why not use it on trains?!
Much improved look following your weathering. I agree with your comments the Peco models do look like toys in their RTR condition. Great instructive video.
When I got my Peco bug boxes I was flummoxed in much the same way by the holding mechanism, took me too long to figure out it wasnt a screw in! great weathering job
I have to agree with you George the weathering and highlighted details make such a difference. Quality work as always. I would be tempted to change the wheels for metal ones though.
Excellent video as always and good to see a different technique to the Corris weathering. A bit surprised that you didn't weather the couplings. Dundas have always been a great supplier.
@@GWilliamsonModels I think it’ll happen. I want to pick modelling back up again. I actually had a question about airbrushes after seeing your video - if I were to get a ‘starter set’ can you recommend anything suitable? Potential video content ;)
@@thedembot I’ve been asked about airbrushes a few times, and I’m planning on a series on ‘the basics’ aswell as ‘the dark arts’, such as soldering, airbrushing etc
Amazing modelling....with your added hunout. Perfect viewing material. However I'm really struggling to hear you on my phone, , your mic seems much quieter than other youtubers. Kind regards Gary
@GWilliamsonModels if you play yours at same volume then play someone else's yours is always quieter. Yes I could play in TV. But it's a pain dragging the TV into the bathroom when I'm having my morning 10 minutes sit down 😀😀😀😀
@@GWilliamsonModels that’s true, the other thing though that others have told me, and I have experienced myself, is that eventually the plastic wheels wear down, and it gets small shavings of plastic all over your track. Can’t deny that they do often roll smooth though, which is nice!
@@GWilliamsonModels ya true, on a small layout it might not be a problem, and since I mainly model OO and North American HO, I probably would see it more than someone doing OO9 since the rolling stock is larger, heavier and in the case of US/Canadian stuff, it is usually quite long and on bogies.
Thought you’d do the high seat backs with their white antimacassars. They are quite prominent through the windows. I much prefer bachmann style 009 couplers so switch the peco ones over. Nice to see a toned down version of the black wash technique. Getting anxious about what you do to the carrs I built and sold you….😅
I might do them yet. But I don’t think it’s that obvious through the windows, as the glazing on these is quite thick. I’ll try it out this week and see
While these are great I do believe one of the coaches only has the gvt crest and not the lining I'm not 100% but I do believe so given my last looking.
Great argument for weathering. A simple treatment that achieves a really good result... Thanks for the 'How To' .
I’m a big advocate for weathering, thanks for watching

Cheers, yes it doesn’t take much to improve them
Liking this series .Have used Dundas models for years, a great company.
They’re a brillint supplier to deal with, hats off to their work
Still loving your videos! They look great weathered
That’s amazing to hear, Thankyou for watching ❤️
Very nicely done
Thank you very much!
Fab work! They look great! 👍
Cheers - keep up the good work your end!

Yeah, embarrassing to say that it took me literal minutes to figure that out!

Good to hear, I think it does aswell, and it goes my require expensive tools or loads of time to do it, so there’s no excuse 😅
Fabulous job sir 🥳👍
Thankyou so much!
I’m in Spain with covid so revisiting all you vids 🎉
Excellent video as always and good to see a different technique to the Corris weathering. A bit surprised that you didn't weather the couplings. Dundas have always been a great supplier.
I’m still undecided about the couplings, chances are I’ll be swapping them out for Greenwich at some point!
Soon, I'll be building a dedicated 009 layout as I have a few 009 stock but I have always found RTR 009 rolling stock to be a bit on the pricy side.
That sounds great, but yes I agree, it’s much cheaper to build from kits..if you have the skill and time
Quality work on those coaches, George! I do fancy a little 009 project sometime thanks to you
Doooo it dooo it!

The sound is fine on my iPad.
That’s interesting to hear (pun intended)..check it out on another device and let me know
Thanks for letting me know

@@gs425 I always find it concerning how many are probably watching these on the toilet..but the timing seems about right 😂
Looks great! I didn’t know that the Peco rolling stock has plastic wheels, that’s kinda crazy given the price.
Yes I agree, but personally I did see that it affects the running quality

@@modelrailfan37 interesting point, I highly doubt that these will run enough to get to that point, but if they do, I’ll just swap them out for metal

@@modelrailfan37 yes I’d say it depends on what you’re modelling, I wouldn’t want long heavy trains with plastic wheels

Interesting, I only photographed one when I was last there, so I’ll investigate that!
