If you'd like to see my video on how I laid the ballast in the turnouts while still having them operate well follow the link here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iqLUerGfG1U.html

Growing some wild crazy weed there Andy!!!!

Those are some real nice looking boxcars!! Great video!! Thanks, Andy!!🍻

Really beautifully done, and the end result is super-nicely balanced. The little stick-on shrubs make for great highlights amongst the toned down ballast. Poor ALCOs getting a bum wrap again - still going to love my little RS27s 🙂

@jeffklein602 Месяц назад

I find that going through to highlight ties (both darker and lighter) before ballasting is much easier. A brush and thin wash (over a base of camouflage brown) works well. To avoid patterns, I print out a list of prime numbers and use them to skip randomly. Love your channel - thanks for the tips.

Looks awesome Andy. Glad to see you still model in the summer. 😉

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Oh yes. I love to work on my hobby all the time...at least a few hours a day.

hey Andy, nice video, good to see how you weather your track and ballast. Thanks, Terry

Looks great, Andy! Very realistic.

Thanks for tuning in.

@fbrailroad4628 Месяц назад

Nice work, Andy, will have to try this on my layout.

@w.rustylane5650 15 дней назад

You want realistic track, paint each tie a different shade of brown to grey. I plan to paint my track before it gets laid on the layout. So far I've got 75 feet of Micro Engineering nickle silver flex track and cork roadbed to paint. I'll use my go to rust color (Coffee & Cream) and my airbrush to paint the acrylic paint. Then for the cork roadbed I plan on using a pint can of primer grey I have on hand and shoot it through my other airbrush. Painting the cork roadbed grey will help when the track finally gets ballasting with grey ballast which is what the Central of Georgia uses. Cheers from eastern TN

Thank you very much for watching.

Looks great Andy, thanks for the detailed tutorial. Will be playing around with this to enhance track in N.

@keithludowitz9637 Месяц назад

Andy, you have upped your video instructional technique. Identifing the matarials is especially helpful. Great job!

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Awesome, thank you!

@donhanley1213 Месяц назад

Nice detail.

@lucgagnon5241 Месяц назад

Hi Andy. Thanks again for sharing your work. Indeed, track weathering is pretty much like everything else : It can be endless. I appreciate that you showed us the products you're using and the way it's been done. Simple and effective video. Keep on your good work.

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

It truly is a labor of love.

@lucgagnon5241 Месяц назад

@@AndyDorsch Hi again. Thanks for answering. I think I would add some dark green to all the colors you used on track's ties and ballast. But it shows at the end that pretty much everything can go in and the result will be awesome. That part is the artistic one. It's not technical at all except for the process of doing it. That's pretty much less stressful than painting a building, a car or an engine. Thanks again for sharing.

Nice job, Andy! So important to "model" the track, not just lay it.

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Thanks Paul...Track is a key component to the layout!!!

@SeaboardCentral Месяц назад

Great job Andy! It is a great way to tone stuff down and make it look more natural. Glad you showed how ties age. They are definitely not all the same.

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Thanks Tim! I love how they turned out.

@@AndyDorsch I always appreciate different methods of doing things like this.

@FGLKPaul Месяц назад

Great video Andy! Definitely going to try some of these techniques.

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

They are simple to apply let me know how they turn out.

@Howie2025 Месяц назад

Andy great video, almost Boomer level 😂. Some great tips and products I can’t wait to try out on my track. Like the sidebars that give specific details on how you’re doing it (ie: 25-35 psi). Good work

@XBOXShawn12thman Месяц назад

That looks BRILLIANT!!!! 😳

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Thank you!

@rogerhuber3133 Месяц назад

Great tips and it looks wonderful but not sure if I could invest 20+ minutes per foot of track on my layout though!

@EL-nc1cs Месяц назад

Oh BTW... how about adding some diesel sand spots here and there near those oil spills?

@OtterCreek Месяц назад

Great video Andy!

@AndyDorsch Месяц назад

Thank you!

@LogicRailTech Месяц назад

Excellent work Andy! Are you thinning the Tamiya paint when shooting it through the airbrush? If so, their thinner or something else?

@markiewodi3371 Месяц назад

This looks fantastic! I just hand built my first turnout and a little track, haven’t gotten to this step any advice with wood ties or ??? Am I behind but what happened to the Marshfield with the awesome crappy track, or am I thinking of someone else?

@franssongs Месяц назад

Nice job. I may have missed it but what size needle are you using in your airbrush? I model n scale and I can’t get to the level of detail you did here but certainly can use many of the techniques
