My Approach To Weathering Wheels & Trucks! 

Great tutorial! I will be using these techniques in future. Thank you for sharing them with us!

Hey Dan. I find standing those testors cans in hot water before you use them helps in thinning and also increases the can pressure just enough to stop the splattering

Thanks Dan, this is just the kind of videos I want to see as well as your finished models. Excellent job of weathering!

Thanks, Dan! It's really helpful to have these single-technique videos. Sometimes, it takes a while to figure out which car you showed a technique on.

You got the skills. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Dan, I love these techniques! I've been doing a mix of your techniques with Juan Zuloaga's techniques for brass steam locomotives as it's very much the same weathering in steam era equipment. And I want to thank you for this truck weathering tutorial as now I can improve my wheels and truck weathering!

Hard to go back to 1955 Pennsylvania! Maybe in the future we can time travel. Inspiring video, thank you young sir!

Nice review even for those of us who have followed you for a while. Incredible rust effects on the hopper structure! Thanks for posting.

I guess thats why I saw a ton of Anitas at Ollies before christmas.

Thanks Dan. You did an outstanding job on this post. I just did a truck and I truly liked it better than what I've been doing for years. Take care.

Fantastic. I have used your techniques. They are really cool. Thank you so much for your videos.

Funny I had just been using a weathering pen and powder for the wheels and trucks but I love the techniques and detail you put in! Thank you for the techniques to add and experiment with.

Another great video Dan. I'm looking forward to trying some of these techniques on my UK and small number of US rolling stock at some point.

Howdy Dan! I'm just starting down the model railroading rabbit hole... and I stumbled across your channel. Glad I did! I was looking for a detailed video on trucks and wheels without using an airbrush and this is just awesome! Earned a sub - looking forward to poking through your vids. Very well done and thanks for sharing 🤠

Great video! Thank you for sharing your technique. May I suggest a ring light to get more light over your right shoulder. Hard to see sometimes.

I done that before to weathered my freight cars and the rolling bearing trucks I did use earth brown and earth black paint and I do have a some weathering powder for the trucks and the wheels

Great info as always. I appreciate you following up and putting this video out there as a separate technique instead of part of a full car weathering video. Thanks

Thanks Dan your job is so great, for me i dont do that on my cars

this stuff is epic as always

Thanks for this video. My own approach is very similar to yours, but I use a mixture of brown, black, and German red acrylic primers for the base coat. I then apply craft acrylics that have been slightly thinned with water to make them semi-transparent on top of the base coat. I do some additional detailing with paint, particularly the springs. And since I model the early 60,s I get some black around the journal boxes and on the faces of the wheels. I usually leave it there, but I think now that I've seen your video I need to try some powders. Cheers from Wisconsin!

Great techniques!!! Thanks for sharing!!! - Brian

thanks for sharing Dan!

Your weathering skills are awesome, Dan. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Dan ,I can add a little more to my trucks now

Painting with espagnole is brilliant

Very helpful Dan, always something to learn from your videos. Just out of curiosity, have you done any work using Pan Pastels?

Show them on the layout so we can see the effect in action well still action.

19:24 ha I was thinking some white!

Thanks!! just what I was looking for. --- An after thought -- Have you tried "Rust-oleum Painter's Touch Matte Clear"? It should be near to the same as Testors Dull coat I think.

Could you post the links to the other modelers you mentioned? I couldn’t fine any of the three you mentioned. Thanks!

Quick and clean thanks for the technic, your work is great.

Hey Dan how much would it be if you got one hopper car two Gondolas one box car but do no graffiti how much would that be let me know.

Do wheels get replaced in pairs? I assume yes…

I wish I had a dollar for Everytime you said technique I would be rich
