This is a vid made via requests to show my techniques for weathering one of these 14K tanks mostly used in molten sulfur service.

Thanks for doing this video Dan. I think today is the 3rd time I have watched this one since you put it out. Great tips and techniques and a great reminder as I now start to weather 16 sulfur cars

Simple techniques, great results!! Just one tip... You could put a little Orange paint in the safety strips while it is still in the roll, that way you can fade a lot of them in no time...

Thanks for showing how to use sponges. I have a couple of cars where I'm going to need that kind of technique and it's the only one I can think of that I don't think you'd shown in detail before now. Shame it's so hard to see the results against the black car, but just seeing you do it was super-helpful. It does show better right at the end of the video.

Great video and tutorial of weathering a tank car! I've learned a lot from you Dan bcuz I too do my own weathering and graffiti work now on my h.o.scale rolling stock and for customers as well. I have an airbrush that I use on the undercarriage and then use powders and or washes. I've got 16years experience with the airbrush so doing rolling stock was a breeze. I'm also doing railroad dioramas and have sold abt a dozen of those. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort!

One interesting technique. It's strange the model manufacturers haven't made more common tank cars. Doing some UTLX Panda Bear cars like #630133 for Sodium Hydroxide service. The Walthers 16,000 gallon car fill the void. The solid black cars like #631188 are easy to do also. Cars with two valve covers and recessed ladder well like GATX #233759 can be done with two Intermountain 19,000 tankers. It works best to use a 1 1/2 pvc tube cutter with the twist knob.

Nice video, I have several Corn Syrup tanks I want to mass produce, so some of your techniques will help. I also like the how you point out you can go farther on cars if you like. Thinking every 3rd or 4th car I could do a few more details to make them stand out and also still save time. Thanks

Depending on what you're modeling, simple weathering can be the most realistic. Pretty much every box car on the rails is covered in graffiti so, if you want to run realistic box cars, you're going to have to put in a lot of time. Most gons are completely beaten up. But it always amazes me that you can see a Norfolk Southern or CSX unit grain train of hoppers that are basically a huge off-white graffiti canvas but, in a 100 car train, often only five or six will have any substantial graffiti on them, and another ten or eleven will have a little bit of scribble. The rest are just slightly dirty and could certainly be weathered on a production line. 100 cars with detailed weathering would just look wrong, in that case.

What’s the trick to get the “rims” of the wheels to shine after weathering the rest of them, like TGOX 1844 at the very end shot in this video?
@anthonygunter40642 жыл бұрын
Dan, regarding a new in the box car or engine, once I remove it from the box, should I wash it before starting the weathering...
