RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 13, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2014 City of Manchester - as shown in my previous post. It carried the strange BR Maroon with BR Blue/Green loco lining . A "clean" picture and now (apologies for the light shining on the boiler - indoor lights are not good for photos) dirty Around the firebox/footplate area there was an accumulation of dirt .. and the running gear has had powder added while the ink is still wet... The tender has the usual accumulation of dirt/soot/coal dust/exhaust gunk along its top edge as well as along the footplate/tender side join and finally the water filler area.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 14, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have added these in my blog but I will add them here as I have had one suggestion to the question I will set at the end... It was a good suggestion but are there others? So a couple of Bachmann Moguls: a LMS designed one... and a BR Standard 4MT - which I bought to replace a motorised Airfix one.. and the question is - how to cover up those awful screws holding the valve gear together??

It was a good suggestion but are there others? So a couple of Bachmann Moguls: Bachmann Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 (1280x853).jpg a LMS designed one... and a BR Standard 4MT - which I bought to replace a motorised Airfix one.. standard 4mt 76020 (1280x396).jpg and the question is - how to cover up those awful screws holding the valve gear together?? More stunning work! Just love the 4MT! Just finished a 5MT myself recently. Think all the BR standards look good weathered up a bit. As for the screws I have no idea , but I'm sure you will find an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 15, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks Callum. Yes the standards do ;look better with a bit of dirt added. I do have a solution - change the wheels... a bit drastic but I have just rewheeld a couple of locos to get them to run on C&L track.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2014 Subtlety.... its what makes or breaks weathering... and the camera doesn't always show the subtle weathering shades etc used on models.... Having fitted sound to two diesels they needed a gentle weathering .so first up a Type 2 (aka Class 25) as the sun is failing to shine this is an indoor shot - but you can see some of the lighter areas of weathering.. Roof detail.. and a EE Type 4 (aka Class 40) A bit of roof.. and a closer look at the nose end of the 40.. enjoy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) So time for some steam engines.. first up a shed cleaned Duchess of Rutland.... as this was painted by Coachman a long time ago getting a nice shine on the cellulose paintwork is easy - and no T-cut or microsol in sight! of course the cleaners haven't a lot of time to get even a duchess clean.. so .. cab dirt this is now off to Carlisle.... and while I had the inks etc out I also did a couple of ex GC locos... First up a loco from Mike Edge on of his kits- a D10 luckily he provided a good black and white photo of this loco so... and he asked for the smokebox burn mark... and compare it with my Bachmann D10 so I made sure the D11 s a bit dirtier... and it looks better with some good etched beading on the splasher - wherever did Bachmann get the silver lines from?? Hope these are OK Edited February 25, 2014 by Barry O 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted April 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 23, 2014 Having been away from home for nearly 7 weeks I am starting to get back into weathering. Currently there are some more of these: in the weathering area - this set are to be very slightly weathered 9so they are different from the first 12. Hopefully some updated photos will appear next week. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 16, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2014 Among other things going through the weathering shops at the moment I have been busy with some OO wagons .. These are for a fellow RMwebber.... He wanted "gentle" weathering so a thin (ie more water to ink) wash all over, spread into the grooves between planks and some around the stove chimney on the toad followed by a light application of dust and the roof and something for me.. not finished as I have inked this and applied coal/soot dust but no rust highlights etc. A Hornby Stanier 8F and a close up of the wheels and motion.. dust added while the ink is still wet.. enjoy! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 20, 2014 It is very seldom I am asked to make a loco really "dirty" but this Graham Varley built and painted V2 has been given a Gatesheed shed look.. some close ups to show the build up of "clag" on the loco.. top of the boiler front end and clag along the bottom of the cab side-sheets/tender tank Off to have a lie down.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted May 26, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just like buses... another ex LNER loco has passed through the shops . This time Merlin a Hornby BR Green A4. Not too dirty but a bit workstained.. and a closer view of the cab area... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted June 19, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Just completed another Murgatroyd's tanker.... and 12 On3 Hopper wagons. But managed to do .. Clive Of India it is shed cleaned (isn't Hornby colour matt! took a bit of polishing to buff it up) a closer view of the front end now back to some coaches for a change...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted July 2, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2014 Why do the RTR manufacturers believe that a squirt of brown paint all over the underframe and lower edges of a wagon constitutes realistic weathering? Well I have just re-weathered a couple of Dapol "weathered" wagons ... I din't bother to photograph them before I worked on them but here they are now: and the top of one - ink followed by powder while the ink is damp to the touch.. and teh ends - which originally were 75% brown..on a black vehicle... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted July 21, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2014 In between yet more Murgatroyd's tankers i have done some work on a model new to me .. Hornby Hawksworth coaches. These rae really nice vehicles so... a bit of roof and underframe/lower coach side weathering has been applied to bring out the detail.. First up .. a full first and a full third.. and finally a brake third. They are all in blood and custard livery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted July 25, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hornby L1 - a lovely model even if it doesn't sound like a cement mixer. First the left hand side then the right Hornby have a lovely paint finish if only a bit matt - so I have used some interesting ingredients to get a sheen on this shed cleaned loco 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 6, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Just a brief note as I have been looking out for some soft brushes for use with weathering powder.Step forward superdrug who do a variety of soft makeup brushes at reasonable prices.They also do soft sponge wedges (used for spreading the ink/water around on stock being weathered)A happy customer!Baz Edited as my Kobo makes words up as it goes along(!)

The Evil Bus Driver Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) One thing I've found useful is those glass pots you get with individual "Gű" cheesecakes in Co-op, as you can add thinners, inks water etc, whatever you want, and it doesn't eat through them. So as a bonus you get two nice glass mixing pots and two tasty cheesecakes! But yes I am soon going to be going along to my local model shop (Morris's of Lancing) to pick up some weathering powders and inks and generally lark around with a surplus coach practicing the technique. I will post pictures on my wagon thread when I have something to show. Edited August 14, 2014 by The Evil Bus Driver 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 14, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2014 Glad that you are going to have a go. I haven't seen the glass pots your are talking about - I still have some old baby food jars and "mini" jam/marmalade jars I use for storing powder etc. Glass jars/bottles are really handy! If you need any help let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Bus Driver Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Hi Barry. These are the ones. You can get them in any co op or tesco, about £4 but you get to eat all the cheesecake Edited August 22, 2014 by The Evil Bus Driver 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
