Another great video, Terry. I have a little tip about rust. The most realistic looking rust is actual rust. Put a wad of your steal wool into a half full bottle isopropyl alcohol. Shake it up every few days then uncap it and squeeze the bottle to exchange the gasses, so it will keep making rust. Keep it capped in between so it doesn’t dry up. Use a small paint brush to dab a tiny drop and let it streak down the side of your model. The alcohol dries fast which helps get different effects. Lay the model on its side and dab rust on if you don’t want it to streak. Paint the whole model with the rust to give a general grunge coat. It becomes darker/older looking the longer you let it brew. So start a new batch every few weeks so you have several going, which gives you choices of how rusty you want your rust to rust. Spray a clear flat coat over it to protect your rust when you are done. The flat coat will dramatically change the effect. But in the end, you can’t go wrong with real rust. It is more realistic than fake rust, no matter what you do.
Great job on the work train Terry! It's nice how you documented your issues while putting this together. It's the sort of issues we all deal with while working on a project, but never think to video them. You are a master at making these videos. 😊
@@johnlazar7582 thanks John. Sometimes people think they are not really good modellers because stuff sometimes goes wrong or they make mistakes. They could not be more wrong. ☺️
One of the things that drives me is creativity and innovation, as well as repurpose and reuse. I enjoy problems solving as well and being a master of 'bluff and cuff' but I'm not always successful and usually end up with a monument to lack of skill and ability. But, there's always something to take from it as a learning point, a well as a good laugh and ending up with something entirely different form what I intended. Now after all you brilliant tips, you've given me a few ideas as well 😄
Well if you ask me the tub turned out perfect as indeed did the rest of the train. I hope John has recovered from his magnet fitting operation😳 A fantastic video Terry👍
@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks Good. I hope you remenbered to degrease the area before applying a generous splash of glue. After all you dont want it falling back out again🤣👍
Excellent video Mr Rowsell Love the beard you made The paint was a real shame but it being on a bucket car is actually vitting They aren't looked after in sa lol You must run that steam engine more
Love this kind of content. Thanks!
@@michaelfiller3452 awesome! Thanks so much. ☺️
Turned out great Terry.
@@huntercoleman460 thanks Hunter. ☺️
Incredible work Terry! Your work train looks amazing! You’ve got skills, my friend! Wow!! 💯👍
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains thanks so much. I mostly just learned from others over the years. ☺️ And i am not afraid of shagging it up. Lol

Nice one, I'll have a go at that 😄
@@northernutahlivesteam interesting! I wonder if methyl hydrate would work with the steel wool as well?
@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks unsure, has something to do with the amount of water is the solution. Apparently isopropyl gives the optimum balance.
@ meths is an alcohol too. I may try it to see because I have lots of it. If it doesn’t work I’ll use isopropyl. Thanks for getting me onto this.
@ I have meths for my alcohol engines. It’s supposed to be 90+%. But I bet it will work if you add water to make it about 70%.
Seal of approval granted 🎉🎉😊
@@associatedblacksheepandmisfits hurrah!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️🥰
@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricksthat's a nice little engine on the flatbed btw. Just right size for a workshop diorama 😊
@ yeah, I’ve been wondering what to do with it. I had not thought of a workshop. Hmmm.

@@watchfordpilot ohhhhhhhhh I like it when I hear that you have ideas… Yes I agree. You and I like trying stuff. ☺️ Thanks Steve.
Very awesome work on this work train here! I bet Henry and Marge plus the friar are happy to see this work train roaming around the rails.
@@MattKonsol Henry, Marge, and the Friar are always excited to see something new on the rails. ☺️
Nicely done. Great work train!
@@martytaylor2004 thanks Marty. ☺️
Super cool vid Terry!! Love the beard!! 😎
@@naxshack thanks Brian! I tried wool and other stuff. The steel wool worked the best for this particular application.
It looks fantastic Terry!!
Great job on the weathering. Some folks overdo it (in my opinion), but yours is very nicely done, and believable.
@@mikecole4452 thanks! I almost felt I overdid it with this wagon, but these old tub wagons soon looked the worst of the lot in real life.
Most creatative
@@chriswilliams7480 thanks Chris! ☺️
purrfect.
@@allanegleston4931 thanks! 😊
Looks great Terry, I may have to look into some of the Sweet 16 rolling stock for the Superior
@@timothyboles6457 yeah, it would go very well. Swift Sixteen isn’t cheap but the wagons are solid!
Well if you ask me the tub turned out perfect as indeed did the rest of the train.
I hope John has recovered from his magnet fitting operation😳
A fantastic video Terry👍
@@davidwhite1864 thanks Dave. Lol. John is still a bit sore, but the magnet is firmly in there now. 😆
@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks Good. I hope you remenbered to degrease the area before applying a generous splash of glue. After all you dont want it falling back out again🤣👍
@@davidwhite1864 hahahaha. It’s stuck up there now.
At least John isn't doing the heavy lifting for the foreseeable future, as he'll be sitting in the van for a while. So he's got time to recover.
@@Jasper_4444 lol. True! 😝
I am watching this with a cup of glengettie tea
@@chriswilliams7480 that sounds nice and relaxing. ☺️ 🫖
Excellent video Mr Rowsell
Love the beard you made
The paint was a real shame but it being on a bucket car is actually vitting
They aren't looked after in sa lol
You must run that steam engine more
@@laaity thanks Wihann. It’s a good little steam engine. I have another video coming soon with it.
@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks yay
