Always a top notch video, thanks for posting. I ran into a problem attaching the M/T decking with Aileens Tacky glue as it warped the entire car. Good news I removed the deck, the car returned to normal shape and re-attached with the canopy glue. These are the challenges in N scale. Thanks again.
It's always a pleasure to look up to your work. To my point of view, you are the best N scale modeler I've seen so far in my own modeler's life. And I'm in the business for the past 30 years so... The only sad thing for me is that you're not modeling HO scale ! Sorry I had to say it !!! Keep on your good work.
Stumbled across your channel & love to watch what you're up to. I have a ton of garden scale stuff I've yet to plant in the yard, but there's something really appealing about N scale.
Very good video on weathering,some good tips and ideas . Have weather track , bridges and structures . Haven’t tried any rolling stock at this time , but do plan on doing some. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week . 😎😎 👍
What a great job , wonderful out come . I am enjoying your Weathering series . Have been throwing around the air brush idea , but as a beginner don't know where to start . Keep up the great content .
Hi Steve, for an airbrush I use an Iwata Eclipse. Iwata makes excellent airbrushes in multiple price ranges and you don’t need top of the line. Most of my cars you see were done using a single action Paasche H3 but I don’t recommend the mechanism for paint feed on that. I will do a video for you on what I think the minimum kit is to really get going. It’s less than you think.
@@ChicagoCrossingRR Thanks for the reply . Looking forward to a video on airbrushes . Also will need to get some canopy glue . All great clues as what to use with less problems . Thanks again . Enjoy your 20% or less humidity . Here in SW Missouri it's 70% .
@@stevetandysr.2816 Thanks Steve. I'll see what I can come up with as a weathering kit that keeps costs in check with maximal versatility. In the meantime I will enjoy our weather, though I'll be out in Iowa next weekend so will probably have about the same as you!
@@ChicagoCrossingRR Heheh , I know about Iowa . I seem to relate to where you are . I lived north of Chicago and grew up in Colorado Springs and I was born in Waterloo , Ia. I bet next your going to Texas . I lived in eastern Texas for several years also . But have been in the very sw corner of Mo. for 37 years now . Good luck on your trip and be safe .
Looks great! Using stuff most of us have on the work bench. I can only speak for me but I am going away from rust buckets in weathering my Loco or rolling stock. You mentioned weathering pencils, I found at hobby Lobby a dual pencil sharpener that will but a very fine point on them.
Hi Will, I'm right there with you. I think there's a lot to explore in weathering and we needn't make all of our models look completely worn out. I do need a sharpener - I'm curious how these pencils will behave in one. They seem potentially useful for some chipping applications but I'm not totally sold yet. I do think I'll find good uses for them, lots of possibilities.
nice... that came out exceptionally well! the pan pastel technique for the wheels was a nice touch, i might have to 'borrow' that. what did you think of the AK weathering pencils? i've held off getting any because i wasn't sure how useful they'd be.
Thanks! I’m not sold on the pencils yet. The adhesion of the pigment wasn’t stellar and I didn’t have the level of control I anticipated with the oil can effect. They weren’t amazing for chipping on the boxcar either. I believe they have their uses so I’ll be playing with them a lot to see what applications or techniques they are most compatible with.

Absolutely remarkable transformation indeed! 👍😃
Thank you Gene!

Thanks Sandy. These models are delicate in interesting ways! Glad you were able to recover the situation.
Tip of the hat working with N scale stuff. You're doing a nice job. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Luc, appreciate you dropping by!

Just outstanding Eric.
The bulkhead looks incredibly real!
And you managed to do a “how to” video in a “not how to” way!
Happy 4th to you!

Thank you Scott - glad you enjoyed and glad it strikes the right tone. I'm no authority on model railroading :). Have a great holiday weekend too!

Thanks Matthew - hope you get everything set up, garden railroading looks like a great deal of fun!

Thanks Tommy - you as well!
Really nice car and work. Boxcars sides too have weavy steel due to welding.
@@danielfantino1714 they certainly do. I was able to replicate that using pastels once on a photo-faithful weathering job for a boxcar.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this one. Are those metal wheels you were painting?
Those are metal, correct.
