- In this episode I have a go at making one of my class 08s look more realistic. I use some methods I've not tried before and it paid off. I'm very pleased with how this one came out. Enjoy...
The best weathing of 0 8 l have seen just wonderful, All the best Colin from Mossend railway oo.
I can walk across a 750v third rail,take abuse from passengers dispatch trains in the rush hour,but weathering my mods,I chicken out,hats off to you superb ,mark
1968concorde all of which have nothing to do with scale modelling. What was your point??
@@jg2627 3 years old and still your comment is shit
Well done on that. You've got big balls to experiment with a new technique on a new model!! Dave

That looks great, you matched the picture pretty damn well.
Well done for being brave and stepping into the unknown with a new model - the results are great and it paid off a treat!. Just watched the update too - looking forward to seeing the layout in Hornby Magazine. Well deserved for all your hard work.
Astonishingly beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
That was both bold and brilliant. I am a great believer in that if you are you going to treat something you should treat it. Usually these things are viewed from at least 3 feet away so well done. Great result, excellent video
When you use the maskol put a small tab of card into it before it dries, then when finished just grip it and pull the masking off in one piece, no chance of scratching the glass with the scalpel
You could also use a cocktail stick (toothpick to us Yanks) to remove the Maskol, which is a lot less likely to scratch the plastic window "glass".Outstanding weathering job though, even with the "too clean" windows.
You can never have enough dirt!! That looks amazing, well done :)
That looks absolutely superb- it looks just like the real thing. BR Blue is my favorite livery, and you recreated all the fading, grime, grease and general aging of the paintwork brilliantly.
dry brushing the faded blue was a great idea and work brilliantly. when I saw the shunter in your other videos I thought you must had done a complete respray. very well done.
The Class 08 is a beautiful locomotive indeed! Enjoying your VIDZ immensely, keep the good work!
Hello from Canada.
I know I've watched this before, but RUclips says I've not seen your 2016 videos.
So, another thumbs up for you and I think this is a piece of art, just about perfect.
Fantastic job and I tip my hat to you.
watching this one for the second time, a really really impressive bit of learning as you go weathering. I think this vid among one or two others are what persuaded to take the plunge on my precious locos.
Fantastic review of your layout in the Hornby magazine. Brilliant camera views of your layout. A project brilliantly achieved, may it give you years of enjoyment.
wow that was a great video , to watch from new to years of service in 15 minutes , the rear and grills look great , well it all does but them two spots really pop out at me ,, terrific , thanks for sharing
It is a cool looking locomotive. Very nice weathering. great video
what i do with the buffer faces is use a slate grey and using a cotton bud get a dab of the paint and dab it on a tissue until there is not a lot of paint on the bud (as per dry brushing) then dab it on the buffer face. this gives a close match in colour as the grease as it is a graphite based grease, and grey not black, and spreads from one buffer face to another like from the cotton bud, and you get a softer edge to the grease mark.
another thing i use is an orange and brown pencil to make rust streaks, around placed like the vent and runners on the cab roof, and on the radiator, and a soft pencil rubbed on steps to represent worn paint through to the metal (not too silvery) hope this helps
Looks great Richard, got an 08 will try all those techniques when I get round to weathering it, thanks for sharing Andy
Class 20's are good candidates for the same effect. Great fun to do. Enjoyable video as usual and looking forward to that Hornby magazine.
Completely flawless weathring job, looks so much like the real loco in the picture, always helps to have a reference to the specific loco your modelling
Hope you see this. I just love your videos, can't get enough. I have a question/suggestion. For the front windows (and the others); I noticed the windows look too new in the end and looked pretty good with the liquid mask on. Do you think you could make some dustier windows and show where the windshield wiper has wiped the window clean(er)? That would look really cool.
Hi Richard, I saw your article in the hornby magazine, and it looked awesome! I can't wait to see the video on the completion of your engine shed. Keep up the epic work fella!
A wonderful display that works nicely, I do admire you artisanship! Greetings from France !!
Really like what you did here with acrylic paint. I'm going to try you technique to fade and weather a few of my cars.
Hi. Well done again for an exalted video.
The 08 just reminds me of how they use to look at Newton Heath shed in Manchester in the 70s when I use to go talking number lol 😊
Keep the good work up.
Stevie
That was so interesting and what a brilliant finish to the engine. Looking forward to seeing it pull a few coaches out of the new carriage siding area.Barry. Devon
Richard......great job there mate! Really captures the aged look of a heavy use loco.
Hello Everard. This little engine I really like. For me it is the classic British Switcher, is very well known in Germany, in its compact form it is to be used almost anywhere .By the aging that is very good is to look wonderful.
Brilliant weathering, particularly the faded paint. Looks way better than the frosted effect you sometimes see
Superb job. I noticed you’ve even put in the orange pipes in the four foot. Very realistic.
That looks so life like,brilliant!👍
Very nice mate, my son and I got a few tips on your process and will try them out, thank you.
Looks awesome Richard, really authentic.
Excellent job Richard, you've captured the look of faded BR blue perfectly - and it's a very difficult colour to get right. Really amazing job.
Brilliant job Richard, you are a craftsman at all you do.
I agree with Leon you've done a brilliant match to the picture. I have not seen the liquid masking before that looks really good, thanks again for the video!
hi rich thanks again for a really helpful video its just the look I am trying to achieve on my 08 and 20s will have another go with the dry brushing method. layouts looking great.
kind regards
Ralph
Excellent weathering on that little engine!
I want to thank you for making these videos, because the part of the layout I extended using your tips is looking great. So thanks and keep up the good work
Brilliant job Rich! I do envy your eye and your steady hand!
Absolutely sensational weathering job done mate love it 😉😎
Congratulations on your first article, Richard. I got it from Tesco coming back from work last night and read it on the bus. Some great shots but I don't think they gave your genius efforts justice. Also I had no idea you were so young!! Best wishes!
Excellent job. My layout is at the other end, ie. just started so I've gone back to your early videos and working my way through to get ideas and how to do projects
Best weathering I've ever seen!!! Awsome job!
What a great job sir and a nice video. Thanks
I love this, man. Thanks for uploading and sharing it with us.
just brilliant. loved the finished look. great job
Very convincing Richard, well done. As always and excellent 'How to Video'. I wouldn't have bothered masking the windows as the 08's we have at OOC you couldn't see out of them anyway. LOL. This video must have hit the mark as there's no thumbs down yet.
Congratulations on your first article in Hornby Magazine. A very good read and gives a different perspective to the layout and you intentions for it in the future. As mentioned below, I didn't realise you are only in your mid twenties. Keep going with the videos, they give me inspiration as I'm sure it does many others.
excellent work, you sir are a very talented man....thanks for sharing
Hi Richard congratulations on the excellent write up in hornby magazine. I would be interested in seeing how you wire up the signal circuits as i find they are quite expensive to buy and would be more satisfying to build my own ones. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next vids cheers Paul.
To be fair I was not convinced by the colour of the faded blue, but once dry it works really really well. Great job.
Looks really good...very good match to the picture. Well done!
Really well done! I just finished weathering a cheap model train for practice and have had rather mixed results... I think the acrylic paint I used didn't play well with the really cheap, toy, shiny plastic of the model. It looks good from afar but once you get close it just looks poorly done... Oh, well! At least it wasn't an expensive model like yours. I really wish I had my old airbrush still! Anyway, came over to find more tips on how to weather. So cheers for the great video!
Nicely done Richard! Very realistic......
Hi Richard, the weathering looks great, very effective with that method. Cheers Gary
I was like "hmm" when you started dry brushing the paint fading as I'd use an airbrush for that, but...what your final achievement does is show my "hmm" was way off. Excellent finish. Now, you need to throw a nice grimy wash onto those point motors. They're much too clean!
The end results look magnificent. Great work. Paul
A really nice "how-to" video, great finish on the locomotive. Thanks for taking the time to do this and share. It was good to see it run afterwards, maybe, next time moving some rolling stock doing what the 08 does best? Cheers.
Great result! Really makes a big difference
great job. I know I'm late to the party, but may I add my two penneth? Your model is a brilliant reflection of a shunter in some outlying freight yard, but as yours is a station pilot with a nearby TMD, wouldn't it have been kept in better condition? Nit picking, I know!
The weather-man predicts great weathering......nice.
if you were to Photoshop a real sky into the picture, i would have never guessed it was a model! amazing job on the train and the layout
That is totally superb and a close match to her ‘real’ self. I used to do this in the 70’s on Scalextrix rally cars, ‘muddying’ them up as theres no such thing as a clean rally car. Even leaving clean wipe areas where the wipers cleaned mud from the windscreen! Then i used to send these to my younger brother who loved them!
Only suggestion would be to do similar with the windscreens on your 08? As in the ‘non wiped’ areas leave them matt and maybe still with Maskol on. Thats my ONLY criticism, the windows are ‘too shiny’ for a clapped shunter! I have driven 08’s and some you can barely see out!
Still an awesome job though, i am looking for a cheap 08 to do this on and one I can simulate ‘damage’ as in a minor ding with a bent cowling. I do this with a soldering iron 👍🏻
Really good looking faded paint. It looks just right on the layout...John
Lovely job, well done, and thanks for sharing your method.
+EverardJunction looks really good definitely looks like the one in the picture what is the compressor to spray your train where did you buy your one
I aspire to weather BR blue locos to look this way. A masterclass. nicely done.
Fabulous - as ever. To me, the final paint-job actually looks more 'natural' than the real one!
Richard you have out done yourself what a fantastic job on the 08
The history of that locomotive is somewhat different. They were developed in the second world war. They came to the European mainland with D-Day, the invasion of Normandy 1944. The British army needed a strong, "portable" locomotive. About 7 - 8 months after the war in 1946, 10 were given to the nearly completely demolished and looted Dutch Railways.
The NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen / Dutch Railways) were very satisfied about the 10 locomotives. They proofed to be very reliable and easy to maintain. A few years later the Dutch bought 100 new locomotives. Between 1949 and 1957, 2 more orders follow for in total 260 machines. Some of them are still in service. The class number in the Netherlands was Loc Serie 500 / 600 / 700.
Rumors go (in the Netherlands) that the British were quite surprised by the first order of 100 copies and the very well performance in the Netherlands. So they start to use the locomotives themselves in 1952. The class 08 were probably only ment as warmachines.
Brilliant! I can almost smell the grime!
That intro looks bloody real!
I'd play with that layout all week nevermind all day! Its a credit to you! Hell yeah brother!!!
Can't wait to see this in the Hornby magazine
Great video and thanks for explaining dry brushing.
Hi Richard. Great video. This is superb techniques. Your project is an inspiration. I am currently in the process of weathering my locos and rolling stock, and looking to produce a video for my layout. Would it be possible with your very kind permission to mention your channel in the video and add a link to it too?
Good one.
Because we are looking at OO gauge, it's as if we are looking at a real railway from some distance away, so arial perspective must be considered on all colours- especially the effect on reds and greens etc when seen from a distance.(not just the effect of dirt.)
A freshly painted loco in apple green for example would not look as green when viewed from a distance which OO scale (and other scales) give the impression of.
Also, I wonder whether some initial fine scratching of the BR sign and loco number would have assisted with a weathered effect (even thogh I ntice that thwe lreal loco in the picture doesn't appear to have much loss of clarity
Good videos
Very wise to use Kay Dee Couplers. They are great for switching and doing prototype operation
I did something similar to my green class 08. Made my own lighter version of BR Green and dry brushed it on and i like it.
Nice 1 mate that weathering is out standing I'm going to have a go, it's about time your in the mag,I bet in the nerve future u will have your how to mag/ video
Excellant Job. Thanks for sharing ... Spike
Very nice work.
At the end there, I was looking at your hi-vis engineers. Some of them (not the officer class of course) would have much dirtier jackets - a bit of your grime streaked on them would be very effective.
Brilliant work, I'm just about to build a 5" 08. Never done weathering before, could do with a list of materials that you used
Great stuff Richard. Well done
I must say you do amazing work really enjoy watching your videos!
I noticed while you were removing the masking rubber from the windows on one occasion it created a clear hole in the center of the window surrounded by the dull window color that resembles a broken window. Might be an interesting technique. You would leave the masking on but would have to solidify it with a clear coat so it wouldn't come off.
Very helpful…what Matt varnish do you use - when you feel that helps protect? I’m a relative beginner but starting to weather my On30 Narrow Gauge locos using Vallejo acrylics and Tamiya Matt paints so I need a varnish that will not cause any issues. TIA
I think the windows actually fit better when they were a bit murkier, gave the impression of a lot of dust buildup that the engineers just got sick of cleaning off
Perfect! Great job mate! Looked splendid!
I remember 08021 at Leicester Station in your photo there, it looked very tired!
Very nice the way you did looks the part as a shunter would look
Really excellent work. Nothing short of art! Just as a suggestion, I was cringing when you were scraping the Maskol off with a scalpel in case you scratched something. I think a round/ball ended dental probe might be better for that in the future! (Thinking either a Williams or CPITN probe.)
Keep up the good work. I look forward to your magazine feature.
I use a cocktail stick
+TheColane I think you'd get more control with a dental probe, but of course cocktail sticks have the advantage of being significantly cheaper. Horses for courses!
I didn't have anything else to hand at the time. With care the blade wont scratch anything.
+EverardJunction You're a braver man than me! And certainly a much more talented one!
Awesome video ,the weathering looks superb,
Quick question, do you ever run steam locos on your layout?
He does have a standard 5 from a previous layout but because it's an eighties layout it only makes rare appearances as a rail tour train
Aha Thx, it is nice to see a diesel layout with a rare steam engine now and again
beautiful job man! another great video, thanks.
WOW!! I am surprised you didn't gum up the moving parts with paint!
great weathering and I like the window masking thanks
Great job! I love the 08. Managed to get a drive in one when i was 13 at Crewe open day. I'm thinking of building a layout in the spare room, can I ask where you buy your models, track, etc?
Fantastic weathering
Great work! Matched the pictures excellently.
