Chris - New lighting on the layout is great, it makes such a difference in the videos. Really enjoyed video, would like to see more of the PC E8. Please remove the faux air hose from the 2rail coupler. You have done such an amazing job making the unit more realistic and that just jumps out. Hope all is well and Summer is great. Jim P.

Well done Chris!

[@rgoscale]

Nice tutorial, and the weathering turned out great!

[@tomrogers5516]

A very good weathering job, Chris. I like the lighter touch you've given it, which is effective but not overdone.

[@timsolomon688]

Looks great on that engine

[@robertlinville6997]

I like the weathering. Looks great. Never had the nerve to do this. I would be afraid spray paint could coat the interior, especially when painting the chrome vent. But makes the engine more real world and the Kade coupler on the front looks good too.

He's approaching 'Norm-level', maybe.

[@Chuckster1963]

Great video! Can’t beat Kadee couplers and some light weathering. Much more realistic.

[@billlane7786]

Looks good for a quick weathering job, I agree that gap up front hurts the overall appearance

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

Sharp looking locomotive, Chris, only made nicer by your coupler modification and weathering. Enjoyed the tutorial showing how you accomplished the work. Even though I always enjoy seeing weathered equipment, I have just never gone there. I admire your skills and willingness to take the leap to weather some of your equipment. Great video! Bill B.

[@ChrissTrainsandMore]

Looks awesome! You did a great job on the weathering

[@phidias523]

Great video... thanks for posting it! My Amtrak E8 arrived a few weeks ago. It pulls my 7 MTH coaches like a champ.

[@Steven_Williams]

Sweet!! Just picked up the Burlington Northern version.

[@buecomet831]

Finally the Atlas E8 getting some loving, I love the E8s, I was gonna pre-order them but I backed out because of the money situation.

[@johnstup4479]

I ordered the Amtrak phase I paint scheme E8. Maybe it came it too. Nice weathering job Chris.

[@garys0scale525]

Would love to have my blue bonnet camelback weathered

[@TimMacPA]

Very nice. I couldn't do it myself. It would look like an eight-year-old took a brush to it.

[@davidkoehler136]

That looks so much better!

[@SleeperBBQ]

Nice video, thank you

[@delawarebeachboy]

Good job weathering it.

[@valchavez9163]

Chris....I hope you seal it with dullcote after you weathered it........looks good bud.....

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

Sure did!

[@davidstevens9002]

The engine looks great.

[@ArtsModelTrains]

Awesome job on the tutorial, I've thought about changing out some front couplers for scale but always thought it would be hard, thanks for showing how to do it. Great job weathering, just the right amount, looks realistic without being too different than the clean passenger cars.

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

Thanks Art!

[@Allnightexplor]

Nice upgrades!

[@williamkolina3988]

Outstanding Is your whole fleet converted to kadees I wonder who owned the engine first Pennsylvania or New York Central

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

No - I did convert some of my H21a hoppers a few caboose couplers.

[@DelHudson1]

Was a pleasure to watch this video. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make it. The E-8 turned out gorgeous.

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

Thanks!

[@markericson6418]

Well done!!

[@walteranderson5090]

Any particular reason not to use a K-dee electro coupler?

[@LionelLLC]

Where is your compressor for the airbrush? I never heard it kick in. Or did you do a voiceover?

[@ChrissTrainsandThings]

I had to do a voice over. My audio failed on all the weathering shots....
