I have repainted my 27 ton bachmann mineral wagons and given them a new lease of life. In this vid i will show you how i do basic weathering for my rolling stock.
nice keep it up loving the junction and ive now just got to level my loft floor clad the roof and then i can build the railway framework i have got the chipboard for the tops like
@mushyyy98 I have a heater. When the temperature is -4 it take ages for the room to warm up. As it's only like this for about 2 months per year I take a break from the railway and focus on something else.
@houndog1372 For engines I use the method I showed in the vid, plus paint and brushes. This works well if you are careful and use a little bit at a time. If your 66s are going to be your first attempt I would strongly advise that you practise your technique on some wagons. Once you are getting results you want, move onto the 66s. I have had those powders for a long time and unfortunately can't remember where I got them from. There are several companies out there that make them.
@EverardJunction when i ment old batteries (non rechargable batteries) and there quite new but cheap so they wil not last a long time so put them to a better use
Halllo Everard .Diese kurzen Wagen haben einen besonderen Reiz ,wenn sie in einer Vielzahl in einer Kurve sich bewegen , Achse an Achse ,das sieht richtig gut aus !
That Humbrol varnish, can you spray it on the chassis of locos properly, without doing damage to your loco. Thinking of weatherin g my 03 shunter using similar methods.
@D335Media I've had those powders years. I found them in a model that has long since closed. I would expect you could find similar products in various shops and on the internet. My powders are made by a company called Mig, if that helps.

@bloodmarine77 The professional weathering really does look good, I have been very tempted in the past. I'm working on improving my technique, so my stock might look as good as pro weathering one day.
@gtacrusher123 Be very careful with old batteries. Lithium is corrosive and requires special handling to avoid skin contact. Breathing lithium dust or lithium compounds irritate the nose and throat, while higher exposure can cause a buildup of fluid in the lungs, leading to pulmonary edema.
good vid mate, and youve beat me to it as i wos going to post a vid on weathering with powders but you have saved me a job.i dont weather my locos anymore as im going to send them away for pro spray paint weathering.when you gonna start on the first tmd?
@mongoosekid14 I do both nitro and electric. My dad and I have quite a large collection. We mainly use the electrics. You can see vids of them on his channel bunny402702
the US container trains have a thin line of rust on the end of the wagons where the wheels splash up,,can this be done whith the powder paint you was showing in your vid...just thinking,,nice video, thanks.
Nice video! I was planning on using these powders to start off some weathering on my wagons, but I was just wondering what colours you used in this video? You mentioned the Vietnam Earth and Light/Standard Rust colour, but I have been unable to find "Black Ash" colour, and all of the greys that I have seen from Mig were slightly off from there grey in the video. Cheers :)
The powders I used in this video were purchased about 8 years ago from a model shop that no longer exists. There are quite a few different types of powders around, so you might have to mix and match different shades to get the right colour.
