Now if I'd just get me a good collection of paints, I could start my training from Matt's videos!!!...LOL Awesome work Matt! Cheers 🍻 Earl 🦖

Nice airbrushing! The text overlays were well done. This video would have been a great candidate for a music soundtrack 🎶

Great weathering Matt in high speed well done 👍🤣😂 very cool

Another excellent video! Very nice work!

Hi Matt, those locos look absolutely gorgeous, I've got a brand new Athearn Genesis GP9 in Canadian National's early green and gold livery (#4404) and at some point in the future (not a rush as I'm sure you will be receiving many requests from people like me) I'd like to commission you to weather this unit for me. From what I've seen of your work cost is not an issue as those skills of yours are without equal anywhere. Wow you should open up your own company lol. Anyway if you can great if not I tried. Cheers, Larry

Amazing work!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

Spill the beans!!!! I'm interested!!

I can't vouch for those buggy still running. But I can verify that 7046 and 4116 are still running back&forth at the Intermodal yard in Brampton on Ward Rd. Fantastic work Matt🎨🖌🚂

looks good.

Really nice work. Tip: a small pair of channel lock pliers works wonders on the Tamiya caps. Just don't squeeze so hard you crack the cap!

Hey matt. I would like to get some work done on some locos would like to contact. Great work my friend

Matt they look fantastic great job not clean and shiny

Excellent work Matt really brought these bad boys to live👍👍 Definitely changes the look of a model to bring them to life. Awesome share Happy New Years soon to ya

Merry Christmas Matt! What a posse of engines! Just great attention to the detail. I love the roof and nose of 7068. Wade and the club got me the GP9 RM Mother and Slug set for all the work I've been doing up there. Wade will weather them too once he has some time. They will look awsome too. I'm pretty sure I won't need the shell and chassis/motor of the GP38-2 W and you can have it. I need to get into contact with you, Wade might have your #, but I want to ask about other things (not here). Cheers 🍻 Earl 🦖

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Matt, I think you will have as much work as you want. You really are becoming a would class modeler. Have a good new year, and I'll look forward to 2025.😊😊😊

Great work! I caught a 1:1 scale GP9M heading south past my house near Alma IL on the CN main with IC 1025 leading the other day. Not the usual power I see down here.

Whoa spectacular job Matt and Happy New Year to you as well!🥂👏👍

I don't like GP38's, I love them!

Very interesting arrangement you have there 😁

That's a well-weathered loco! Do you use only craft paints? Do you thin them with water for the airbrush?

Do u custom weathering for people

Hey Matt, I don't know how I missed this video. I have some of that 3/4" pine plywood at home 8' long. If you really need some we'll get together! Cheers Earl

Mainan mobil kereta nya bagus sekali nih kawan aku suka

I'm very impressed with the final result and envious of your skills! I hope to develop my skills so that I can possibly do some painting and weathering on the side in my retirement for a little pocket money.

Hi Matt, you're an incredible artist btw, love you're vids what brand of track do you use and what code?

Inspiring!!

She’s a workhorse for sure! Nice work.👍

Again Matt, I love these vids! I would have never known to apply water/IPA first and then paint to allow it to naturally spread out like that. I came across that long tipped paint brush in Walmart. I'll buy it later but I know where to find it. It is wild to watch the water/paint mix dry up in fast time! Just awsome to watch how you tackle this! 🦖

Great job sir. I especially like what you did on cab roof. I'm also modeling Kaslo Shops 3D kits. Those are nice models. Fragile but nice. On these engines, paint is mostly fading on long hood (black), gets thin on cab roof where primer use to appear underneath and orange getting a bit lighter. Well done.

Fantastic share Matt looks realistic for sure enjoyed the video 👍 Have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year cheers

Airbrush'n mint 👌Merry Xmas Matt. I know ya like an Atlas from time to time. Just got running one in the snow. Go check it out🚂🇨🇦🙋

Nice work as always. Hoping rapido does a run of these gp9s, I need one for OBRY

Hi Matt, Congratulations on your first commission. You do incredible work, get ready for lots of work. I bought an artist chalk set, so I make my own powers from chalk. I don't have any pigments yet. I use the same winsor and Newton for rusing effects. Have a good christmas my friend.😊😊😊

Matt excellent job, but I done have one these locomotives, looks fantastic

Hi Matt & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Matt & Friends Randy & Hello Matt & Family & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year's Matt & Good luck in The New year's 2025 & Thanks Matt & Friends Randy

Matt looks excellent, few holes in the wall , need to keep ceo happy, the climb will be great

just the 2 connections will be fine .

Nice update Matt nothing wrong with going through a few holes in the wall. 😂🤣 Looking forward to the next update. Enjoy your two weeks holiday and merry Christmas

Hi Matt, merry christmas. You have a much bigger layout area than I do. The gade your doing is about the same as what I have planed. I don't plan on using any cork. My entire layout will have scale speeds of 30 MPH or less. Trains don't get noisy until you start running at higher speeds. If you have sound in the locos, that should cover the track noise.

Dcc will have major issues without feeders for that long of track. For testing I would run a jumper wire from the dcc to the halfway point to start. When locomotives have a train on them When the train goes around corners The locomotives require more power. Decide what your minimum train length is and use that as your goal. I have some ideas for you because I have a NOLIX home layout and this is my 16th layout I have built. Anything you want to know about what you’re about to do I know the answer because on my very similar design top deck , I am 3 years ahead of you. I had a goal of 15 cars single engine, And 25-30 cars 2 engines. If you want to increase your pulling power : When the track goes around the corner, incorporate into the design a “break” on the grade in the corners meaning 0%. So the train goes up up up at whatever grade you’re using on the straightaways, but when you get to the corner have grade temporarily stop 0% and then resume climbing on the next straightaway. It will allow you to increase how many cars you can pull.

So if anyone runs out of toilet paper then the trains could bring a roll to the persons aid.. lol.... see there is a benefit to it.

Great work!

Results are fantastic

Stunning work Matt.

Absolutely intricate work, awsome paint brush, where did you get it? Great dedication to get it right too. Hey Matt- I have a video coming up of the CN Sweep and I really would like your opinion on it. I still have to edit and post but it's coming. I was editing another video before I got to watch this.. LOL Cheers🍻 Earl🦖

Amazing work! Looking forward to the next video.

Hi Matt, I have been a sub on Dan's channel for 8 or 9 years. Your not that far behind him skill wise. I try a bunch fo different things a see how they look when I'm done.

It's absolutely amazing work Matt. There's nothing quite like watching a vintage tired old warrior switching cars on a layout! Great work. 👍👍

Have you tried Isopropyl alcohol to thin acrylic paints?
