I learned so much watching this show. I will watch it again several times to make sure that I get all the great information that I need to know. I have been trying to figure out how to figure out how to do all this super information for a long time. Know I know where go expand my knowledge on trains. All this time and I am only 72 years old. Never too old to learn. Thanks for the help! I am looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos.

Your weathering is spot on, Great job! It seems like most model railroaders tend to over weather, cars look like the were sitting on the bottom of the ocean for a few years.
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 7 лет назад
Thanks. I try to vary my weathering. I have a few of those ocean lines, but mostly not and some just faded like new cars just a few months on the line. Variety is the name of the game.

As a comment on the video: I would add a before image and an after image together (perhaps best, one on top of the other) for people to easier see the difference. (I open the video in two separate windows to compare... Still, not good enough: the cars should be taken pictures of in the same environment and lighting conditions. And that is exactly why I am suggesting the before-and-after combo by the author himself.)

+Micca Carry I use a variety of weathering on my rolling stock, but the majority are lightly weathered. Modeling the modern era, that is what I see in prototype class 1s--a few old beat up cars and a lot that look like they've been on the rails 3-5 years or less.

This was a fantastic video and weathering job! I have really only been using paint dry brush and chalk for my weathering jobs because 1. I don’t have and airbrush and 2. They frighten me a little and need cleaning apparently. But after seeing how easy it is and how wonderful an effect if offers. I think I’ll get one and try it for myself! But I’ll have to watch videos on cleaning the airbrush!
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 4 года назад
I was intimidated by airbrushed for a long time until I got one and practiced a bit. Now I love it. BTW, here is the cleaning video you're looking for: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5xKbK7ZO-34.html
@signman9328
@signman9328 2 года назад
Great info, Ron. The only thing I like to do differently on tank cars is to use a brush for the spillage, since it is usually more of a 'hard-edged' distinct difference between oil and tank color----not as much of a 'dusting effect' as other areas.

Hi, Ron! I took a metal clothes hanger, cut the long base part off leaving me the hook, and two legs so to speak. I took the two legs to the grinder and grinding then to a point. This allows me to put any length car on the points

@jre617
@jre617 4 года назад
The tank cars really look good. Thanks. The only thing I might have tried is going back and brushing gray or rust on the ladders. I think there'd be less spillage on the ladders than on the side itself. And the ladder detail would stand out a little. N scale is tiny.

@TrashMan2008
@TrashMan2008 7 лет назад
Ron, excellent video as always. I really enjoyed this episode. I have given it a try before I seen this video and now I know how to fix the weathering on that car. When it comes to weathering you can not always use the HO scale techniques when it comes to N scale. That really was a good tip Cody showed us on the Cody's Office and that was a damn good tip you showed us with the blocks for the car stand. That was always a big issue because the car would fall over and then you have to use your hands. I can't wait to give it a try. Peace be with you, Monday or Tuesday are good for me but I will try to attend when I can for the live show.
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 7 лет назад
Thanks. Hey, if you didn't get the message I recently posted to you, next Tuesday I will post a video about layout track curves, easement, and superelevation inspired by a question you asked on a previous video, and I am giving you credit for the idea in the video. As for Cody's idea, yes it worked well. His idea actually involved using weathering washes from Monroe Models out of MInnesota on the couplers. I ordered the washes but there was a delay and I needed to finish the video, so I airbrushed the couplers instead. The washes showed up the day I uploaded this video in the afternoon. So now, when I do my next weathering video which will involved powders, I will try again on the trucks and couplers with the washes. Live and learn.

@WhitePineSub
@WhitePineSub 7 лет назад
Ron,I like your weathering method, very similar to mine. For your wheels I highly recommend the Minuteman Scale Models wheel weathering jigs. As you have an airbrush they allow you to also weather the backs of the wheels and the axles. While this isn't that big a deal on some cars, these parts of the wheel are very visible on a tank cars, even more so on a layout that has the height yours does. Keep the vids coming!-Karl
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 7 лет назад
+Karl A Hi, Karl. You are right about weathering the backs of wheels. I had not really worried about this much in the past, but as I did this video and took the clothes ups of the cars at the end the silver backs of the wheels really stood out. I'm pretty sure this is something I will start doing immediately. Thanks for the tip on the painting jig. I have seen some painting jigs that are probably similar. My issue is with painting the ends of the axles. I don't want paint interfere with their turning in the axle pockets of the trucks.
@WhitePineSub
@WhitePineSub 7 лет назад
Ron, I've spray painted every axle on my layout using the painting jigs. The amount of paint that gets on the tip of the axle is so minimal it has to affect on the performance short or long term..

@pacbeltrr38 7 лет назад
..... I *was* going to say that looks good for N Scale - but that looks good PERIOD! Gotta say, I haven't seen weathering done, entirely with an airbrush. . . then I realized that back in the late 80's, that was the ONLY way I did weathering!!! 😛😜 I stopped using the airbrush for weathering, almost right after I discovered weathering powders. This makes me want to go ahead and dig up my old Badger 250, and see if I can still do it! I am really going to enjoy your videos!! Carmine 🚂

I've been waiting all summer wondering what that idea is. My life is a little crazy until Tuesday next--youngest started school yesterday, wife started teaching for the year today, wife started night classes for her Masters this week, and my 2 oldest move back to college this Saturday and Sunday. Whew! I am tired and broke!!! Anyway, I look forward to hearing, and if I don't respond immediately this week you will now know why. BTW, it will be good to have you back when your kids get all settled into school again too.

@Kegg_Works
@Kegg_Works 7 лет назад
Nice video! Granted I might be able to apply some of these methods to my modeling, I model a much earlier period, but there are a few steel tank cars that may find there way in somewhere. However one thing I thought about was perhaps a video on Airbrush use and maintenance. I have an airbrush, but have never used it as I'm not familiar with the proper upkeep of one. So perhaps that would be something for those of us new to that aspect of the hobby.

Ron, if you replace the plastic wheels with metal ones, would you get a short on the tracks? Got any suggestions to learn to airbrush? I've always wanted to learn how to. Got a link to that spray booth? Beautiful work on the weathering!
@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 6 лет назад
First, no short because the axles are insulated. Second, there are tons of videos on getting started in airbrushing on RU-vid. That is how I got started. The best thing is just to pick one up and start practicing of paper, wood, something disposable until you get the hand of it. Third, yes I have a link and here it is. amzn.to/2GHPjwi
@MarkInLA
@MarkInLA 6 лет назад
Yes, the metal wheels usually have insulation between the end of an axle and one of the 2 wheel's inside faces that the axle goes into. In other words, 1 wheel is always insulated from the axle by plastic of some sort, such as Delrin. ...

@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 7 лет назад
+SoCalBNSF N scale layout Honestly, Steve, I would recommend the Badger 200 siphon feed, single action, internal mix like I used in this video highly. I have another airbrush (double action) but I keep coming back to this one. It is my favorite by far for its reliability and fine paint control. They are widely available, and if you wish you can find one through my Amazon affiliate link in the description of this video. You will need a compressor also. I have a Badger diaphram compressor I love, but there are many good ones out there. Be sure to get a regulator and moisture trap with the compressor as well. Some come with them, others must be purchased separately.

Why not use a tiny soft brush on the draft-gear box and coupler, or the entire truck for that matter ? Also, why not do, say, 7-8 tanks and other cars at the same time by lining them up on a straight track on or off the layout..? What you've done Ron is A1, but it seems too time consuming being just weathering, and not livery colors or sign painting, say...

@RonsTrainsNThings
@RonsTrainsNThings 6 лет назад
I personally use a small compressor made for airbrushing. You can use almost any compressor, but you MUST have two things with it. 1) You have to have a regulator that allows you to adjust the pressure coming out of the compressor. 2) You really need a moisture trap because any compressor will create moisture in the tank as air is compressed (it is some kind of science thing, lol). This moisture will come through your airbrush and ruin your paint job. You can buy a combo regulator and moisture trap from lots of places. If you are interested, here is a link to one for less than $13. amzn.to/2FBasYX

+Eddie Brooks You can find static models, but I have never seen a functioning one in N scale. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but I have not seen one.

Your asphalt tank cars are not quite completed, as asphalt is a hazardous material, and the cars should have hazardous material placards.

+Noel Stoutenburg You are correct. It is just such a TINY detail in N scale that I have not tackled it yet on any of my tankers. Not forgotten however. My LPG tmcars need placards as well.

It doesnt look realistic at all...especially the asphalt is flowing down and not sprayed all over....
