Well true to my word - I did leverage your idea. I mounted on to my spray booth, a wood block attached to a lazy-susan base swivel. I also used your mixture for the fading, and the the road dust. All great usuable tips - thanks again...
Great weathering tutertorial, & techniques!!! How does the diesel stay attached to the block of wood? Thanks for posting the weathering medium's, & mixtures too! AL
Amazing! Thats a good weathering job. I am thinking about buying this locomotive in regular DC version. Do you recommend this locomotive? Does it run well?
I clean my wheels by wetting a piece of cloth with Airbrush thinner, lay the cloth on your tracks. switch on the power, and clean one truck at the time, by holding your engine right on the cloth, while it's "running" Peter
That is Amazing!!!!!! i have just recently started the hobby. I want to know if the paint and/or the dry pigment get up in the weel mechanisms and "gunk" things up. Thanks!!!!
I use masking film, I bet you can buy it the same place you bought your airbrush. it sticks very pourly, like post-it labels, so it can be moved around whithout sticking to hard to the surface, also easyer to remove than regular masking tape. I poor some drops of alcohol or airbrush thinner on a piece of cloth, span it over the rails, and hold the engine right over the cloth hwile the engine is running, this will clean your wheels
Yeah sometimes I did weathered my locomotive is my UP AC45CTE 5537 ho scale I was about to buy all the locomotives I want UP and BNSF and KCS And NS and CSX and Amtrak
I do get some paint on the wheels. You can remove that by wetting a piece of cloth with Airbrush thinner, lay the cloth on your tracks. switch on the power, and clean one truck at the time, by holding your engine right on the cloth, while it's "running" Peter
Yes, I use microscale decals, I soak them in tap water, but I use "Micro set" on my model before applaying the decal, and then I use "Micro sol" when the surface is uneven. Peter
I like that fuel tender, is it scratch-built or did you get it as-is?? I use exactly the same techniques, do you find you lose some of the colors of the pigments after the dullcoat? Of late, ive sinned and left some of my weathering unprotected for fear of losing it from dullcoat. Very nice work.
I like the weathering of the BNSF SD60M ex-BN I’m planning getting that locomotive with sounds for my ho scale I can try weathered that locomotive I had to find the bnsf decals so I can patched up on each side of the locomotive you need to give the link of the realistic of picture I saw from the being
thanks for your interest, I can't remember where I found the picture, it's been maybe 10 years since I made that locomotive. try an image search on Google or another search engine. If you can’t find good pictures, try searching for numbers that are close, eg 9255? The Decals are from microscale
How do you make sure that no paint or powder gets on the pick up strips, wheels, or internal mechanisms? I love the way this turns out and i want to do it to my own trains, but i need to make sure theres nothing im missing .. Thanks -another model railroader
Hi formidable38 , Yes, I also loose some of the colors from the dry pigments, so I add too much color to compensate, or I will add some pigment after dullcote, and dullcote again. untill im satisfied. Oh, -the fuel tender is a RTR from Athearn Peter
One Part could be anything, I believe he uses a small eye dropper, since he mixes his paint in the Airbrush cup, his parts are small, one part could be one drop, or one part could be 5 drops...

@157RANDOM Hi there, I belive you, maybe take the engine apart, and remove the the clear plasic windows, do your weathering and dullcote, and then reinstall the windows?
@Fly3rman I don't know anything about the music, It is one of those free tracks, that RUclips offers. If I could have chosen any song without worrying about rights, I had chosen VolBeat - Maryanns Place ...see my favorits
Hi there. as I'm not familiar with the brands and names of products in the US. I can only guess. but danielsmith.c o m has dry pigments that looks just like the ones i use. hope this is of any help. Peter

Wow! Great work on the weathering. I can't wait to weather my locos and rolling stock!
Outstanding video!! Lots of detail and information. Better than most weathering videos.
VERY nice work and video! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post it!
You are AWESOME!!!! I wish I could send you one of my SD40-2's for a good weathering.
awesome video! i'll have to try this technique once i get an airbrush and some other stuff looks really good
Super video. Really like the camera work - he must be a pro.....
Really nice work - thanks for sharing your techniques - I'll be sure to "leverage" them... please post more if possible...
Awesome Video!! You always have great weathering tips!!

Great Video. r u planeing 2 do any more weathering videos.
This has been the best video for showing weathering. You just dust it on and it sticks?

Great job, I may have to try it, i have the same loco, I have a Question, were did you get that Fuel Tender, or did you make it custom.
I there. welcome to the greatest hobby in the worldI. I haven't had problems of that kind, but I dont spray or paint directly on the moving parts.
Nice work. Did you detail the engine at all or is that strait out of the box
wow excellent job u do great work
Yes, I use microscale decals, I soak them in tap water, but I use "Micro set" on my model before applaying the decal, and then I use "Micro sol" when the surface is uneven.

@@Peterraev but did you know I weathered my locomotives is my UP AC45CTE 5537 Ho scale with sounds
Very realistic. I should try that on my Santa Fe Alco.
How do you make sure that no paint or powder gets on the pick up strips, wheels, or internal mechanisms? I love the way this turns out and i want to do it to my own trains, but i need to make sure theres nothing im missing ..

Hi there, and thanks for your interrest, i use a calliper an a steel ruler
Hi Me again. were do u get your decals and the yellow reflectors ive been looking but cant find any.
I was terrified you'd drop the loco! Nice techniques, I'll try them on my british locos.
Du er så stiv.... hvordan går det med maven?
did u have any problems with the quality of the handrails like them coming apart?
Thanks, I appriciate it.
wow awesome dude, could you tell me the name of the music?
really good job.
Thanks. The Fueltender is from Athearn RTR.
I just weathered it.
Peter
Where did you get the raw and burned umber you used on the trucks? Awesome job on the loco!
Ha r u planing 2 do any more weathering videos.
Gravety holds the engine, just sits on the block, just make sure to hold the block level.
Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate it
Hi formidable38 , Yes, I also loose some of the colors from the dry pigments, so I add too much color to compensate, or I will add some pigment after dullcote, and dullcote again. untill im satisfied.
Oh, -the fuel tender is a RTR from Athearn
Peter
I dont block of the wheels, they need weathering too. I clean the contact surface after finishing the loco.
Peter
One Part could be anything, I believe he uses a small eye dropper, since he mixes his paint in the Airbrush cup, his parts are small, one part could be one drop, or one part could be 5 drops...
that is incredible
9255 wasnt weathered yet was it? You forgot to make the number fade, or scratch some of it out
When using the airbrish, how did you keep the locomotive attached to the block of wood?
ok cool thanks. do u have any good ways to clean ur wheels?
Thank for the info, I didn't know that, I'll look into it, maby ad an update?!?
Peter
its a ratio, for example, 1:1 or 1:2 (1 mL paint to 1 mL thinner) (1 mL paint to 2 mL thinner) hope this helps
@Steamtostay Gravety holds the engine, just sits on the block, just make sure to hold the block level.
Best, Peter

Peter
do you get paint on the gears/wheels when you do that?
What does 1 part mean and how much is 1 part? Very new to airbrush and need help on this area? THX
is it ok if i use the airbrush without blocking off the wheels? or should i block them off?
Thanks alot!!
How does one go about cutting precise window masks? Still yet to figure it out and get it right.
also, do you have problems with the wheels after spraying? if you do what do you clean them with?
Yes, it just sticks. I keep it there with dullcoate.
@vellieux Hi there. thanks for your interrest. I figured that that would be the best way to make it look repatched.
Peter
I have worked 2 winter seasons as a waiter in St. Anton, balancing beers and drinks through an afterskiing croud 4 days a week. -maybe that why?!?
BTW, what dry pigments do you use?
do u have the list of paint colors that u use to weather with like who makes them and what colors
tapeing the windows is a lot harder on an n scale loco. do you have any tips?
What brand were the decal sets?
NO, not really, I have tryed to match 9250, so why should I change the numbers ?
KOOL!!!
-So basically, what we're saying, is that it's that it's good I have a steady hand...
I use Testors Model Master.
white, light grey and Dark skintone
Peter
Do you do any to sale ?
@157RANDOM Hi there, I belive you, maybe take the engine apart, and remove the the clear plasic windows, do your weathering and dullcote, and then reinstall the windows?
what did you use to keep the loco on the block? it's killing me to figuer it out here.
2 words Finger prints
Use Maskol next time on the windows and decals.Much easier and faster.
Thanks, I was replying to someone elses comment.
The Decals used on this engine are all from Microscale.
thanks for watching
why wouldnt you have decaled then weathered? masking, then weathering then decaling seems ass backwards
@Peterraev thanks
Its Burlington Northern (BN) NOT Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF).
SwissArmyTin thank you
Might wanna wear rubber gloves when weathering. Keeps the finger prints down.
Soft core porno music from the 90s
@Fly3rman I don't know anything about the music, It is one of those free tracks, that RUclips offers. If I could have chosen any song without worrying about rights, I had chosen VolBeat - Maryanns Place ...see my favorits
@ble909 Thanks
The music on this video changed :(
Sorry about the spelling, please forgive mem but my fist language is not english

Got rid of the music 🎶 😪
HA. AMATEUR. *scrapes off lettering*
