Fantastic tutorial! * subscribed *

[@pabassfisherman]

Awesome video man! I'm a O gauge modeler and love to weather my rolling stock. Love the stain! Going to order me some of that! Thanks for sharing!

[@micheldescoteaux7192]

Great job👍, they look natural. I've been buying a pack or two every week for my kooper's Tie plant that ill be modeling, they manufacture the ties for the RR. Unfortunately I'm going to need somewhere around three to four thousand of these, plus more for the gondolas. I did note, you Staind the full length and then cut them, which is fine. But it leaves the ends White/ clear. Cutting them before you stain would be best. Just an FYI.

[@micheldescoteaux7192]

And I forgot to mention these are true scale to Ho scale.

Thank you for checking out my video. I re stained the ends of the Creosote ties Doing the making of the video. I went back and stained the ends of the outher ties When I was making the utility Pole load.

[@RailserveJohn]

Wow really cool. Those Hunter Line weathering mixes are an awesome product.

[@engineerhall5887]

I also used them on some freight cars . They came out looking good

[@sdrailproductions]

You did a outstanding job on this cool wooden tie load and Happy Holidays

[@engineerhall5887]

Thank you and I preciate you for watching and enjoying the video also have a happy holiday

[@SeaboardCentral]

Great work Engineer Hall! I keep telling myself I need to get some of those Hunter Line stains and a chopper. Thanks for sharing your work. Tim

[@engineerhall5887]

Thanks Tim ,They will look great on your layout. If you decide to use those sticks from Walmart one stick turns into 2 ties And you have to cut a little off on the 2nd cut. When we get our quarterly or 10% use the coupon code Engineer Hall at Yankeedabbler .

[@w.rustylane5650]

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed yer video. Now I've got to go to Wally World and get some of those wooden sticks. They kinda look like match sticks. I usually save all our used kitchen matches and cut them up with my Chop It machine. They're about HO scale tie size. Thanks for the weathering tips. Merry Christmas.

Great video! Awesome job!

[@sugarcubeaudio152]

Nice work look great

[@DysfunctionJunctionOhio]

Look great !

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

New subscriber, well done! I like how you mixed an assortment of colors, went for uneven stacks vs neat bundles and showed staging options on the layout. We will definitely try this.

[@engineerhall5887]

Think you for subscribing to the channel also I'm glad you enjoy the content.The stage scenes are nice visual interest and I enjoy playing around with them

[@gerlandkent6377]

[thank, you for youre helpful video]👍

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

The ties look great. And the way you placed them look great too. I’m going to use that 5% code. Thx. I order from them quite a bit. 👍😃 David

[@UrbanRail]

Very nice

[@handlaidtrack]

Excellent. Just what I have been looking for to weather ties. Thank you. Where in their website is it please?

[@leisureshoot]

nice video

[@engineerhall5887]

Thanks

[@waynehawkins2157]

Here's a good one a while back some one made drywall load for an n scale 3 axle truck. I think they used blocks of wood and painted the block and to look like drywall units. Is that right?? Good work.

[@Barney-hk3es]

Nice video. The ties looks great. How did you do the silver metal side plates on there?

[@engineerhall5887]

silver paint can be used to Simulate the plate

[@Kevin-ev7hw]

Hey Engineer Hall You just got another Subscriber! The ties came out Great! now I will have to make me some ties for my gons. Love the load thats about 2 ties high that have broken pieces of ties on the top layer. what do you think about making a homemade concoction of India Ink and Alcohol? I wonder if you couldnt try to tint the India Ink wash with Grey, brown, tan and white acrylic paint to get a variance?

[@engineerhall5887]

Anything's possible. Just have to find the right combination to get it were you like it it through trial-and-error. With the mix you are able to mix them up to come up with a different color but I haven't tried that yet

[@captainbill12]

I would love to see what happens if you use brown, then when that dries dip it into the creosote black color.

[@engineerhall5887]

That would be a interesting color

[@mustanger041]

where can i pick up those colors

[@trainmcp1138]

Great video on the ties. One question about the gon. You used india ink and isopropyl alcohol for weathering, what amount of ink to alcohol did you use? Thanks.

[@engineerhall5887]

I use 2 teaspoon of ink and about 16 oz. Of alcohol . That the base start . Add moor ink if you want it to be darker effect when it dries.

[@BoxcarJerry]

Looks great , nice that you could reuse that dye . Were you able to get two ties from one stick ?

[@engineerhall5887]

Yes, your able to get two ties from one stick and cut a little off the second one

[@BLKdurangoTRAINhorns]

Bro, plz link me or show me where you can get those stains from.

[@engineerhall5887]

Call 856 312 8084 about the stains

[@arthurvendetti6931]

where do u purchase those sticks from

[@engineerhall5887]

Walmart in the craft Section

[@drubarlow]

Did you paint the ends white or use another technique?

[@engineerhall5887]

I use the same colors to paint the ends

[@chicagoandnorthwesterngene2470]

Do you have an email or contact info for Justin Earnest or website for the OTM Tracker? Thanks.

[@pabassfisherman]

Looks like the stain is only available out of Canada? Couldn't find it on Yankee Dabbler.

[@engineerhall5887]

There's a box of the mix in the store call [phone] to order I was there yesterday afternoon . Then the next best thing is to order at hunter line website.

[@pabassfisherman]

@@engineerhall5887 yep I was on the hunterline website and saw them unfortunately it's about 20 bucks for them to ship it so I will call the store and go from there thanks for the info I appreciate it man
