Still waiting on an update about the GP40's ClassOne announced almost 2 years ago. Inquiring minds want to know.

I may have missed it in the video, but what gauge wire are you using for guy wire?

[@iflyrattraps]

Great tips, thanks. What do you thin the Dullcote with? Straight up paint thinner? Mineral spirits?

[@arbe1948]

Dull Coat is a lacquer so I thin with lacquer thinner.

The video seem to have stopped abruptly. Is there a follow up video to this?

[@GeorgeHughes-cm6vm]

Dull coat is 50/50 mix . . with what?

[@JohnR.1968]

Thats a Yuuuge Load !

Another request for the gauge of floral wire, please.

[@thomream1888]

Hey George - I use 24 to 28g wire that I got it from the big river store. I think it was wire for tying a paper tag to an item. Watch out for 'floral wire' - it has a green coating making it useless for this application. I'd also not suggest using 'piano wire' - it's very stiff and it will ruin cheap wire cutters...know anyone who wants to buy some boogered-up wire cutters?!!!!? And if you use "Chart Pak" tape to simulate any banding, try to find 1/16th or even 1/32nd width. Yes, it's difficult to work with but the results are great. Also note chart tape comes in either glossy or flat - just know which one you want. I use both, depending on how weathered my project is. Hope this helps. Ghost of the SP

Nice! Do you weather or paint wash the wheel sets face and axles? I have found various results on my freight cars doing this. Gets rid of the shinny chrome look. I have not tried TrueColor on the axles or wheel face. Usually I have used Scalecoat 1 (which is now gone) ☹

Great video! Am considering buying a PRR one and removing the PRR and relettering for the ARR, who had a car very similar to this one. But, I didn't notice any mention of how to achieve/weather the wood deck part?

[@cllines604]

Hi Stephen thanks I learned a lot do you have other videos?? and you said the panel liner was rust but the bottle said brown did you add or remove it to make rust??? again thanks

[@Grainexpress]

You mentioned the Testors dullcote was 50/50 mix. What did you mix the dullcote with? I have an airbrush and Testors dullcote but haven’t been brave enough to use it. Thanks! Great video!

[@classonemodelworks]

Xylol/xylene. it is available at Home depot etc.

But who won the well-weathered giveaway?

[@MarkRenn]

You should explore the virtues of weathering with pastel chalks. You can achieve some amazing results with them.

[@stephenhottle6783]

He has. I've been there when he used pan pastels for weathering but just not in this project 😊
