Time to Model: Adding Burn Marks to ScaleTrains Locomotives with Josh Clark

[@trainmcp1138]

The prototype was really cooked. Nice job on recreating this look.

[@Scaletrains]

Josh certainly does great work! -Drayton

[@scottsilvey7522]

JOSH DOES GREAT WORK MODELING THOSE TOASTERS!!

[@Justfor1day]

Todays younger modelers are very talented

[@mikestewart1603]

Very informative. I'm going to follow this step by step on a couple of tyco shells and then start on my ST unit.

[@Scaletrains]

We're glad the video helped! Thanks for watching. -Drayton

[@thomream1888]

Mike, that's the perfect response I give whenever I hear someone say "Oh, I could never do that". Get an old shell (even a crappy boxcar!) and TRY IT!. Josh has amazing skills, but I'll guarantee he didn't just wake up one day with all these skills. Like everything, you gotta start somewhere - and your idea is perfect. Just show us how it comes out, next year, OK? And thanks for the soapbox, Josh and ScaleTrains.

Well done and kudos to Josh for the fine work done there. Very realistic and it takes the model to a whole new level of detail in my opinion.

I’m working on making an ALCo 6-axle rs-1 locomotive in HO scale, and I’m considering putting a burn mark on the side of the exhaust stack and the conductor’s side of the long hood.

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

great job

[@NishnaValleyRailVideos]

Planning on my buying a H1 Dash I might whether it slightly since in my time era it’s brand new

[@stretchlimo7275]

Looks really cool my man👍🏼. I love GE’s but damn do they love to have catastrophic failures! You never have to worry about putting burn marks on an EMD lol

[@Scaletrains]

For sure. -Drayton

[@gp40railfan44]

Thanks for the video! I’m going to do this on my dash 9 too!

[@Scaletrains]

Thank for watching, friend. -Drayton

[@dcctrain]

Outstanding! 👍

[@Scaletrains]

Thank you! Cheers! -Drayton

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

Looks fantastic! I wish there was a final shot on the rails.

[@Scaletrains]

Thanks for watching. -Drayton

[@amtrak706]

I love these videos but I could never bring myself to do this to one of mine! From the factory they have a perfect as-built sheen.

[@Howie2025]

Love these tutorials ❤️

[@gabrielquinones3343]

You could have a fire effect from cotton and leds

[@DairyNS]

The 1st time I ever seen bnsf was in Dalton Georgia and I saw a burn mark On the BNSF locomotive Right where the b is

[@garrinhatfield40]

[@Scaletrains]

[@garrinhatfield40]

[@metrolinxfan3005]

I’me the first I plan on buying one of your dash 9s

[@Scaletrains]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and for considering our products for your roster. -Drayton

[@brockjames8920]

Whoa

[@brockjames8920]

That whitish primer is that like Seagull Gray?

[@Scaletrains]

It's more of a metallic gray. -Drayton

[@jacjac5761]

I just bought my 5th Operator! Great video but I just cannot put weathering on mine sorry not gonna happen! Great video!

[@Scaletrains]

Thanks for commenting, Jac Jac. We understand! Thank you for your business. We hope you're enjoying all five of your Operator locomotives. -Drayton

[@robertggreen5590]

I watched the weathering video and now this. Are you cleaning your wheels afterwards? Or do you have them masked?

[@Scaletrains]

Great question. Masking the wheels beforehand is an option, however in this video the wheels were cleaned afterwards. (Sometimes masking residue can stick on the wheels, so cleaning them is often necessary even after masking). To clean, you can dampen a paper towel or cloth with rubbing alcohol and spin the locomotive wheels over it (one truck at a time), while holding it stationary. -Drayton

Burnt Pumpkin ;)

[@tomalcock620]

Do you have any NS locomotives presently for sale??

[@Scaletrains]

Hi Tom, our latest run of Rivet Counter HO Scale DASH-9s are available now. Please visit www.ScaleTrains.com/ to learn more. -Drayton

[@spacecalander]

I could never do this to a scaletrains, but a KATO and Athearn yes.

[@Scaletrains]

We understand how it can be a little frightening, but never be afraid to practice on other models first. Thanks for watching! -Drayton

[@MrJuvefrank]

B.N.S.F. locomotives are a good thing to have on Halloween.

[@tomr9509]

I've watched you weather a few models but you never say what you are using for clear coat.

[@rearspeaker6364]

but, can they have real flames coming out of the stack?

[@natejackson8213]

Sorry I missed the chat
