Idk why but when Modelers weather their models to look realistic, it just feels so satisfying!

[@modelrailwaybackshop]

This is literally therapy just watching or doing weathering on a model train. I do brass american prototypes for clients and myself and it's so satisfying to do weathering on a model...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I completely agree! 😀

[@ChobertonJunction]

Awesome bit of weathering very nicely done.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@TheTrainboard]

Love the coal spilled in the back of the tender, great detail!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@jamestailyour7348]

Always intriguing seeing you weather a new engine and how much more effective/ authentic you make it look. Incidentally it looked marvellous on the video you posted yesterday. Loved all the coal added to the the tender and falling over the back of it.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks James, appreciate it!

[@aberfordwest4003]

Absolutely beautiful job you’ve done there! If I didn’t know it was a model I’d think it was the real thing!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@akrills]

Hi Lewis, another superb weathering job (on such an amazing loco) and I can't wait to see it do the whole length of the layout. Regards, Eric.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Eric!

[@EITURKEY1]

That brought a bit more life to it, it is a fine looking model already...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@phil36310]

You are a Master Lewis ! Excellent. All the best, Filip

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Filip!

[@turnout999]

Hi. Lewis… another excellent video..many thanks for sharing your techniques..Regards from Maryville Junction 👍🚒🚒

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks matey 👍🏻

[@johnbrown9092]

Oh Mr Mouldy. This would need an oily rag on my preserved railway. Good job though! 😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John 👍🏻

[@cameronpatterson1045]

Good evening to you young man Good work on the wearing looks good it's two dirty Thanks for the video 📹

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Cameron!

[@onnomulder9775]

Another great video Lewis!!! Enjoy again! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Onno.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Onno!

[@reseauVivatrain]

Good job very nice result

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@CalebsRailFilms]

Good on ya, Lew! She looks a treat lad! Still yet to get my own Accurascale Manor, I’m trying to get a start on my miniature 5 inch gauge West German Loco at the moment. I’ve got copies of the original drawings of the loco which is a DBB E10 or BR110 electric locomotive introduced in 1956. They never tell you how expensive this hobby can get lol 😆. But I never put a price on trains hehe 😉. It’s a necessity of which one must have. Take care and thanks for sharing with us. Regards, Caleb

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Caleb. I can relate to that. Speaking of continental locos, I went into a model shop in Switzerland last year and my eyes nearly popped out my head at some of the prices. And British modellers think they have it rough! 🤣

[@magnificus8581]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing how you do this!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you like them 😀

[@davidmathie9512]

Looking good .well done

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks David 👍🏻

[@colwichjunction3366]

Really great vid on how to apply some subtle weathering to a steam loco. I’m currently awaiting the arrival of an Accurascale Manor for the layout, I took advantage of their recent triple points offer. Being a modern image modeller weathering a steam loco seems quite daunting as they were generally so filthy, but I’m keen to try out the techniques that you’ve used. Thanks for sharing Cheers John B 😎

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John. Best of luck with yours!

[@valeriebassett3107]

Looks really good. You did a great job!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 😀

[@barrywest8944]

Hi Lewis, I’ve not started weathering yet, but I’m learning, whether I take the plunge and try is another matter lol

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Haha good luck with you do Barry!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

I thought the coal load was the least realistic part of this model. You have hidden it well. The excess coal spillage adds a nice touch of individuality, Perhaps the driver needs stretching on the rack for some contrived rules infraction. Alternatively, you could slip a soapbox under his feet to help him see out the cab windows! Well done again, Lewis!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steve. Yep I agree on the coal load. I’m sure he’d prefer the soap box over the rack any day!

[@neilharbott8394]

Much better 😁 The coal was probably overloaded on the Manors because their tenders are so small. They need to keep in the blue restriction lines, so routinely larger coal loads would be a problem, but since they could sub for Grange or Hall routes, they'd be short of fuel if not overloaded in those cases.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Neil. Yes that makes sense!

[@jacqueso8424]

Looking great there, Lewis. Looking forward to seeing it run all round😃

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Jacques 👍🏻

[@Mapplewell_Park]

👌 looks great, really brings the model to life

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@platformten5958]

Hi Mouldy. Nice weathering job. I was a tad concerned at first over the choice of gloss varnish as satin is the norm but in the end, it seems to compliment the weathering. Maybe the brown around the water filler cap should be a tad darker but hey, your loco your choice. Well done! Paul. 👍❤️

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Paul. That’s a good point, I might add some gloss varnish there as well for a water effect.

[@hermitageroad4713]

Great loco really pleased with mine

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I agree!

[@_RandomPea]

This might be your best looking and weathered loco. Which would you say is your best? Be great to do a video showing your top 5 favs

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ande 😀 I tend to do a similar weathering job on all of them, but this could be up there. I like my black 5 as well.

[@ralphdavey7303]

Hi. Another nice video. Loco looks good. Thank you.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ralph!

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

You've done the right thing but at the wrong side. The Manor was lightly weathered, that bit is correct, but the running plate, bufferbeams and outside cylinders and wheels were immaculately clean. She was weathered on her boiler top and on top of her firebox casing. Her safety valve bonnet and whistle valve were slightly weathered too. Anyway, Erlestoke Manor should be pristine all over because she's a preserved engine.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Luckily there is lots of footage of manors running in the 1960s! Have a look at this video I've linked below from 4 minutes onwards, some very dirty ones! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKloZxsmNJ9orM

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

​checkmate Kelly 😂 Besides Mouldy Raspberrys layout is set in the 1960s, so having a pristine engine is sacrilegious.

[@jappedut9009]

I have just realised there is one little detail missing in your running videos - The station announcer mayby not so much for Buckdale since nothing much ever stops there but Ponden could use one ♥️♥️♥️

[@johneastwood6596]

how many models do you see unweathered (even at shows) ? It's nice to see somebody try to get it right

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John 👍🏻

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid looks good thanks lee

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Lee!

[@davidcook380]

Great Video Lewis , How do you lock the weathering powders in place without loosing the effect .

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks David. I don’t seal them, I just try not to pick the loco up too much and reapply them when the eventually rub off

[@mattseymour8637]

Good weathering! What shade of colour and paint do you use for the soot on the smoke box and running plate?

[@_RandomPea]

@lewis, ive done a few airbrush weathering now as practice, but can i ask for some advice? How do you ensure that both sides of the loco are weathered to the same look? Each time i seem to do a better job on one side 😂

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Haha, I’d try using one of these spinning things I’ve got, then you can keep rotating the loco round so it’s more even

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

*Nice*

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@redversb2347]

Great video. Not sure I would have the confidence to weather mine (when it eventually arrives). That's a nice accurate airbrush - what kind is it?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! It’s a cheap £20 I got from Amazon believe it it not 🤣

[@jurgenihlau4052]

Did you let the first gloss varnish dry out? Is it also dried through before applying the Puvler?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Yes, it does dry quite quickly.

[@MikeJonesEmjay]

I think IF I ever get one of these I'd like you to weather it for me.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I’d be happy to Mike 👍🏻

[@MikeJonesEmjay]

Awww thank you. @@MouldyRaspberry

[@ChobertonJunction]

Another question if I may. Do you use point motors or are you hand of god? I am having a devil of a time to fit point motors on a layout that I cannot turn upside down for fitting. Thinking of doing without them! (hand of god)

[@MouldyRaspberry]

All hand of god for me! 😬

[@ChobertonJunction]

@@MouldyRaspberry ah thank you. That has sealed the deal then. I am going hand of god.

[@Someyorkshirelad]

Can you show all the trains you have please

[@Someyorkshirelad]

If you can

[@MouldyRaspberry]

There should be a video on the channel of that 👍🏻

[@TimmsyTFG]

Looks pretty crap, ruined the model IMO...

[@MouldyRaspberry]

There always one fruitcake… 🤣
