3:05 - "I assume they're Vents or Valves" - they're wash out plugs. They are placed on the top, sides and under the firebox as well as on the backhead of the boiler and are removable so that the boilers can be drained and washed out to remove scale and impurities. However they can leak when under steam, and that's why the white scale builds up. Not all washout plugs had water scale running from them, so don't add it to them all. Take a look at archival photos and you'll see that not ever loco had these streaks along the firebox - a common thing that almost every modeller overlooks. :)

speaking as an artist ,, white should be used in its raw form in only the tiniest amounts such as the brightest highlights etc as it is seldom found in reality

[@BuntersYard]

Yes indeed. Also with black. I usually mix other shades in with black (browns etc)

Hi. I must say I've never come across oils being used for weathering before. An interesting choice of medium. As for the finished item, an excellent job that's well done. Keep up the good work. I have now subscribed to your channel so you can thank Craig for that. Paul. 👌

[@BuntersYard]

Thats great news. Welcome aboard

[@platformten5958]

Hi. To add to my previous comment, I thought I'd point out that the Q1 was constructed using rustproof material. Therefore, no rusting should be used when weathering as the look would not be prototypical and just wouldn't look right. Never mind, back to the drawing board pal! 😄 Paul. 👍

[@alexs5700]

nice work and good tips 👍👍

[@BuntersYard]

Many many thanks

[@clivejolley6881]

You said on an earlier episode that you were open to new ideas for projects. I thing all railway modellers have got cars and vehicles (usually oxford diecast), small as they, are how about doing a few to show us how you would approach them. Thanks

[@BuntersYard]

Yes sure. Good idea I think I’ve done a burned out Transit before but maybe it’s time for another for general weathering. Thank you

[@platformten5958]

Hi. I've just been communicating with the NRM at York and a lady 'Search Engine Assistant' has informed me by email that the Q1's cab floor is made of wood. She has also attached 2 photos as proof which is very kind of her. I hope this clears up the mystery. Cheers, Paul. 👍

[@BuntersYard]

That’s great new. I’ll assume that the floor on mine has got so dirty that it’s impossible to tell 😂 But for future reference, I’ll paint them in wood tones before in weather them Thanks for the information 👍🏼

[@platformten5958]

No probs pal, glad to be of assistance! Paul. 👍

[@savagemushrooms]

Some very good tips. I too use Mig oils and Humbrol weathering powders. Very rewarding to see good results from one's own efforts. Q1s were cheap to make, no frills, ugly and very, very badly kept. Have subscribed. Many thanks.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. Welcome aboard.

[@IronHorseRailways]

Damn fine results sir 😎 I'll have to try those oils in the future!♥️

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. The oils are normally sold in sets. They are great for fading paintwork too. I've done a few videos using that technique before

[@shakeyhandsshedmodelrailwa2494]

any oil paints will give you very simmilar results , you can play with what you want to thin them with liquin is fast drying but can brown over time but for our timescales away from oil painting it isn't that relevant as we are only talking years and not many decades

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Very nice Dave. Quality at always

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you as always for joining us at Bunters Yard

[@RicktheRecorder]

Great. Humbrol Smoke is not in fact in your list.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. Apologies, but Humbrol Smoke is now included in the description

[@jagc1969]

The Q1 is one of the ugliest locomotives I have seen. I don't model 00 but H0, but I want a Q1 for my collection. This engine is so ugly that I like it.

[@BuntersYard]

Yeah, its a bit of an ugly duckling, but a firm favourite for many people, including me

[@platformten5958]

Hi Juan. I agree regarding the ugliness of the Q1 but for me, that is where the beauty of the loco lies. I certainly wouldn't object to owning one. Paul. 👍
