Poe Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hello, Does anyone know of any free online videos about steam train weathering? I dont want to jump in at the deep end and ruin my work. Thanks, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm the first to admit that I'm not the best at this, but here is my take: http://bmrcm.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Weathering1.pdf Try to imagine what the atmosphere would do to all that soot, oil and muck.

Poe Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Youve done a good job there without going over the top, seems american locos are weathered more with rusty browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Not sure if this will help, but here's some detail on a 9F I put together for Eastwood Town... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/18339-eastwood-town-9f-gets-weatheredstage-3/page__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 That's a great looking 9F Gordon. Starting from bare bones is an interesting approach. The point here Paul is to have a go. Yours is a bit of a test piece I think so no harm in getting stuck in. At shows, I get really turned off by watching locos and stock that are straight out of the box.

Guest Max Stafford Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Paul, I've started preparing something to go up on my blog. I'll show the rough processes I use so hopefully you'll get something useful from that. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted March 22, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2012 If the location isn't a hard water area, or somewhere where water softening plants were used ( GW or Western Region) then don't do the "limescale out of the washout plugs effect"- it's pointless and shows a lack of research.

Yea the loco & wagons are going to be based on a layout in stoke-on-trent where i live, (british steel shelton) the wagons carried iron steel and coal.

Guest 40-something Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi Paul, Have a look at my weathering thread link below if you'd like.. I started out by buying the ModelRail weathering DVD which was the best thing I've bought. I used some ideas from that and got stuck in, now I have my own method, but still based on the DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
