Weathering an HO Scale Locomotive
Here’s a video showing the weathering process of an HO scale locomotive from straight out-of-the-box to finished that’s made to look like it’s seen over 20 years on the rails.
I, have used weathered chalks before.
Please keep making more of these videos. This is amazing.
Just noticed after liking your video that I was the 777th like lol
I saw a CSX version of Triple 7 in Real Life before
Y Athearn have lit number boards on the dash 9s an not on the ES44's
Do you do anything to protect the electrical components in the wheel sets during weathering or have to do anything afterward to ensure good electrical connection between track & locomotive?
I thought your weathering results were great, but what really impressed me were the graffitied grain cars at the end of the video. I was just wondering why I never saw any graffiti in any videos and how it would add more realism to the layout!
So I model UPRR
If I wanted I wanted to take that yellow and make it look faded/20yrs on the road look, would you recommend spraying on that white?
Why is it numbers 777 on the sides but the number boards are 767
The first thing I noticed was the triple 7
Nice work
great job! looks amazing. i use sandwich ziplock baggies to hold small parts
I model spring/summer 2008, and while the FRA reflective tape became mandatory in 2005, there were timetables for implementation that didn't mandate every single locomotive and piece of rolling stock get them overnight. 100% implementation on all rolling stock wasn't required until 2015 (2010 for locomotives), so I actually have a mix of cars that have and don't have the stripes in my fleet. For the most part I use prototype photos to determine if the item I'm currently working on would have had them, and if so where.
