***Dented Gondola Weathering Affects!*** Weathering technique revisited! 

The damaged model looks good imo, just needs some weathering. I don't live far from a scrap yard that gets rail service and some of the gondolas that roll out of there look similar if not worse.

Excellent ! Your gondola method worked like a charm. This works just as well. Going to try this today. Thanks Dan.

I was looking for an easy way to do this without melting the frames. Out of the park! Awesome video and explanation.

Great technique and video, i will try this i wouldn't worry about the reporting marks being damaged most of these cars i have seen are on their third and fourth owner mostly leasing companies the weathering will tie all of this in, thanks for sharing.

Looks great Dan. Thank you for the technique review. I model N scale so I think instead of using the torch I'm going to try the heat of the soldering iron.

Dan, whatever happened to the garbage container cars you were making for that garbage company?

Would like to try this neat technique and your right training is a good recommendation before doing it on a very nice looking freight car

Question.....Have you considered using a heat gun??? A bit more forgiving than a torch...

Excellent technique 👍

the results look very realistic

Do you find that the wet paper method is better than the pieces of Athearn weights on either side? Also, I've gone with a butane cigar lighter which is smaller and has a trigger to turn on an off. no knob. Just easier for me and a much small point of flame.

Hey Dan, I have a couple of questions. One: in the past, you've mentioned some custom decals you've used for your models. Who do you recommend reaching out to get custom decals? Two: I've searched for your instagram page but I can't find it. Can you provide a link or precise spelling? Thanks.

Have you done a video where you replace the panels with sheet styrene? I would love to see how you are doing that.

SUper. I suscribe to you channel :)

Is there a specific kind of metal wheel you use?

The Model railroader in me found the video very informative. I'll probably try it. You explained the process very well. The Firefighter in me was freaking out the whole time you were using the torch. You need to get a insulated plate to work on, not a plastic table and find a spot with less clutter and more room so you can move the extra paper out on harms way.

That is WAY cool !!!!

Number 2 viewer!!! Great video again, Dan!!

nice vid... scrap gons, most abused of railcars... the more prototypical damage you can show on these cars the better it'll look
