Model Railway Tutorial - Simple Wagon Weathering

[@martinhall60]

Thank you for showing your weathering on your wagons. It was very interesting and informative, I guess you model in N gauge, I have been thinking about changing to N gauge for a long time now. Thank you once again for a great channel and Best wishes from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. 👍🚂

Hi there. No problem, I'm glad you found it informative! Yes, I model in N Gauge, I have made a small shelf layout which you can see towards the end of the video. It is definitely worth a look if you're coming from OO scale... you can fit so much more in the same space!

Excellent tutorial, just goes to show that you don't necessarily need an airbrush for effective weathering. Nice result!

[@hedgehoghobbies2836]

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to inspire other people without an airbrush to give weathering a go...

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@hedgehoghobbies2836I've only just bought an airbrush to start weathering with but before I have completed very effective weathering without using an airbrush using paints and powders.

Great video. One question, do you need to let the enamel paints dry in before using the weathering powder or does it need to be wet for them to stick to the wagon?

[@hedgehoghobbies2836]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I have found the paint can be dry and the powder will still stick (to a certain extent). You can apply it when the paint is wet but you'll get a different effect (more 'clumpy', less powdery / dusty). However the powder does rub off after a while... not the end of the world as it rubs off of the raised detail which adds to the effect if anything!

Interesting tutorial. Shame about the background music! Would like to see one on weathering carriages.

[@mattseymour8637]

What rust powder are you using and is it dark, medium or light?

[@hedgehoghobbies2836]

It is a relatively bright red/brown colour called 'track rust' from mig. But, any similar colour will do.

[@mattseymour8637]

​@@hedgehoghobbies2836Thanks for your reply. I tend to use the Humbrol dark and medium rust and they work well too.
