This week I weather my Bachmann Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0. Notoriously one of the ugliest British steam locomotive classes ever built, they were nicknamed Flying Pigs. I think that’s a bit unfair!
1 - I used my airbrush to spray the whole locomotive with a 50/50 mix of Tamiya grey and black.
2 - I used Railmatch Rust to spray the tender interior and highlight grime on the underframe and cylinder fronts.
3 - I cleaned the wheels using Isopropol Alcohol, a 9V battery and a cotton bud.
4 - I added Humbrol smoke weathering powder to the smokebox and cab roof to add a matte finish in contrast to the shiner boiler and tender sides. I added some rust weathering powder to the fronts of the the cylinders.
5 - I added coal to the tender and secured it with diluted PVA glue with a drop of washing up liquid.
6 - I added grease marks to the buffers using matte black paint and a cotton bud
As always thanks for watching.
