Weathering Locomotives - Leased Power (Part 1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2018
- Leased Locomotives are ubiquitous across North American rail lines, and for some shortline railroads they are the sole source of power. Weathering locomotives as leased power can be a fun challenge for your layout. This video shows the first part of how I transform a new looking Conrail GP15-1 model into an old workhorse that is still in service today. I hope this can serve as an example of how we can tell stories in the way that we weather model trains.

I’ve repainted several Leased LMX locos to Monongahela locomotives. The grey color is a perfect match.
Watching your videos to learn how to weather a GP30 old locomotive the Carolina Coastal Railroad let fade and rust but used on their lines. I’m using Carolina Coastal and Blue Ridge Southern in my layout.
Hey, John. Thanks for the nice shout out. Wow, this project is looking really nice. I can't wait to see the finished project.
No problem Ron, glad to give the shout-out. Credit where credit is due. :)
Hi John I was surfing RUclips and came across this video and was suprised to find another person that is doing the CB&CNS railroad I too am modeling this in HO scale but I am just a newbie but learning I chose this after a trip through the east coast and fell in love with the cabot trail. Thanks for the vid as I want to try my hand at weathering.
Thanks for this. There are a few of us doing the CBCNS, but it depends on the era. I'm definitely in the rent-a-wreck era with a hodgepodge of leased locomotives. Others have done the pre-lease era with the classic black scheme with the lion rampant. More recently, with Genesee & Wyoming taking the helm, many of the locomotives are now sporting their distinctive orange and black scheme.
@@JCsRiptrack I have sen many of the orange and black and they remind me of the pics I have seen of some of the CB trains and wonder how hard it would be to convert them to CBCNS.
Great job of weathering so far, anxiously awaiting g part 2.
Well done buddy!
Thanks! Gotta get working on that... :)
Hi John, nice tutorial! For me, very easy to follow and understand your process. Thanks for posting and looking forward to the next part. Also, nice that you are showing things that go wrong and how to overcome them, since some people might be new to this "weathering" thing and not all goes as planned. Terry
Thanks Terry, I'm of the mind that nothing is "ruined" but there are setbacks. Sometimes they can be a Bob Ross-style "happy accident" but in other places it can be harder. One of the scrap gondolas I did for Ron's contest I dropped onto the garage floor just after I had sprayed it with a lacquer clear coat. It ended up covered in lint that I had to clean off. It added some, um, "texture" to the project. :P
Here from Da Waaaghh. Subbed and belled. While I won't ever be doing trains, these great videos will work nicely for my miniature painting!
Weathering techniques are definitely transferrable across different genres. Guess where I learned how to weather stuff... ;)
Best one yet John.
And that little story of how this channel was created was very cool. Thanks for sharing that with us. (And I'm glad you won Ron's contest!)
Thanks TP, always hoping I'm improving with each video. :)
Great video with a lot of techniques I'll have to keep in mind!
Thanks! Some of the techniques are a bit different from what is in the Weathering Basics playlist, but it shows the variety of methods that can be used.
I definitely do weathering .. I don't do vandalism on my own railroad stuff.
I have a conundrum when it comes to one of the other leased locomotives on this shortline, the prototype has a bit of "attempted" graffiti on it. I'm fine with graffiti on railcars, but less so on locomotives. :)
Well done video! Nice work!
Thanks Kory!
That engine looks amassing, great bod so far!
Thanks Joe, more to come next week! :) (and yes, I am still planning that Black Cars video :) )
@@JCsRiptrack Hahaha I have my black car all ready to go too
Great! :) Although admittedly there's nothing overly magical about it, but it is worth talking about :)
Once again I enjoyed your video John, so cool to see someone modelling the modern CB&CNS, great RR to model. I don't want to be critical but when you first show a technique or application can you shoot it in real time for a few seconds so we can get the idea and techniques down then go back to the sped up version. I know this might add a couple of seconds onto your video but I think it would make a great video series even better. Just my opinion. That locomotive looks amazing! BTW, love the RTNT t-shirt.
Thanks for the feedback David, I've done that in a (very) few places in some of these videos, including the last one. I'll see if I can make it work for the next one. The challenge is, I have a LOT of footage, some of which is me just outright fiddling with the model or materials to start the technique. I'll try to make it work.
The techniques shown here are transferable to "regular" locomotives, but what has your experience been in weathering locomotives?
Hi John, thanks for the video. Just one or two things that I am not sure to understand.
Firstly, after the horn removal, the blue you find matching is the games workshop Calendar sky, not mixed with any other blue. Is that correct?
Secondly, the first fading you do is white scar + lothern blue + clear matte medium? Is that correct too? With what thinner?
And thirdly, as you were not convinced by the result, you add a sort a filter with Games Workshop glazes, waywatcher green glaze + few drops of guileman blue glaze. Is that correct? What is the thinner used?
Thanks a lot
Hi Florent, the best blue I found to match was the Caledor Sky, yes. That was more luck than anything else. The thinner I use with any Games Workshop paint is just the Tamiya X-20A thinner or Denatured Alcohol (essentially the same thing). I used the same thinner for the glazes as well, and yes the green glaze with a little bit of blue was what I used. The green was intended to counter the red that was giving the blue paint a slightly purple hue (it was still blue, just not the right kind of blue).
