Realistic weathering of a steam locomotive type BR50

[@strange-universe]

I think that's perhaps the biggest and perhaps most difficult step to attaining realism. Difficult in that it requires attacking the high dollar toys. You do a wonderful job on these projects.

[@littlefarm34]

I am so intimidated by air brushes, I try to stay away from paint thinner these days after 15 years in a factory getting on my skin daily. Thank you for showing both methods I have lost over 20 friends to cancer since I left the job. I use thinner etc. very sparingly these days and avoid it when possible. Thanks again for all the great videos.

[@franciscomallols827]

Martin, you are a master. And your English is perfect, I understood everything! Congratulations by your job.

[@johnkelley9877]

I like both methods but I prefer the brush method too. It adds more streaks then the airbrush does. The engines have a nice used look to them and the weathering adds character to any model. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

[@marklinofsweden]

I agree with you on that for sure. Once you get your way with the brush, it´ll take you further in terms of weathering.

[@Ronin-ke5wm]

Absolutely amazing explanations and video. I am a novice to this hobby and yet I now feel confident to weather my Fleischmann BR50. Thank you so much

[@mgamga9476]

I do not know if you ever posted a video of your trains running around the entire layout. I would love to see your entire layout with trains running.

[@petert9749]

Martin, I don't see your channel much as I am not a 'Patreon', but when I see it it is always interesting. This almost universal method of weathering worries me: aren't you spraying grit into drive and valve gear bearings? Take care. Pete T

[@p7s7cdfk]

Thank you Val - I'm from Zim originally but lived in Cape Town for about 10 years. The steamers are really great I agree.

[@jpsholland]

I have tried the airbrush, but the learning curve is steep. And that becomes a problem when your past 50. The other downfall is the vulnerability of the airbrush, i my experience it is more cleaning then painting. So i am happy you explain both ways, airbrush as well as the traditional way.

[@normanrowe2831]

[@trashtrainpunk1542]

They look great! I got some chalks for Christmas exactly for this purpose. I also got a new FenFa- steamer and have the evil intention to germanize it painting it black, weathering it and installinga three-light head-signal.

[@marklinofsweden]

Cool! Sounds like a nice project!

[@GWR-fd1up]

Nice video. How do you get away with spraying on to the wheels. I've tried airbrushing anywhere near them, but the valve gear and copper pickups still seem to fail!

[@happyboar1019]

I was surprised the way you weather your locomotives (no special care for wheel contacts, for the windows...). The acrylic paints seems not to catch on some plastic parts (using oil paints is more convenient) but I have to admit that the result is very realistic. Good job 👍 what about a green locomotive (SNCB for exemple) ? Would you use the same colors ? Thanks

[@Romin.777]

Nice results! Gonna do that with my BR 50. :))

[@pierreroodbergen7710]

Thank you for this great tutorial, i also did this weathering on my br 50 . I’am very pleased the way They are Look now. Is it posible to made a tutorial of weathering a diesel lok . Great job thankyou

[@cameronsmith4945]

Nicely done. You can also just remove the slider before you apply the paint, to save the trouble of cleaning it.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Yes. :) That is what I think every time too before starting. But! Then I rush into the fun of weathering and forget all about the slider and end up with the task of cleaning it. I suspect there are more people also missing that detail, so then it might be a good idea also how to teach a proper cleaning. Thank you for the positive feedback! Wish you a nice week!

I can not find the other video you made about 4 - 5 months back with the other steam engine you showed how to weather..... could you repost it? Respectfully, Jeanpierre

[@lawrencelewis8105]

Excellent video, I weather buildings with a wash of Tamiya matt black and they look good, but I've never done a locomotive. I think now I will try it on a Fleischmann type 50 in N scale. No airbrush, however.

[@chrisridd9423]

I'd be interested in seeing your results! Some of the techniques for HO don't scale down too well in my limited experience of wagon weathering. I haven't dared taken paint to my expensive Fleischmanns yet!!

Why not mask windows and wheels with Tamiya Masking tape? BTW there are ready to use washes from Tamiya or AMMO Mig, as well as Nature/streaking Effects from AMMO MIG.

[@anj4de]

Great video...a quick remark on the reference picture you show at the begining...it shows a DR (Deutsche Reichsbahn) steamer of DDR days. In eastern Germany mostly "brown coal" was used where as in the West "black coal" was used...it was a question of available resources. The brownish tone of the eastern BR50 is hence not necessarily too correct for a western DB version...great video never the less and top results.

[@natus1]

That steamer with large smoke deflectors looks similar to the 9f and Britannia

[@bestwaytech497]

I love your intro so much idk why

[@Ballinalower]

One hint for newcomers to weathering is to buy an old locomotive or rolling stock, even non running but too cheap to care about and start by practicing on that. Incidentally English is a language full of traps for the non native speaker. And although it differs considerably throughout the world the word 'swab' is universally pronounced as "swob" like the 'a" was an 'o'.
