what a view from your window... I can imagine the wish list on the criteria when searching for your ideal house... Detached, tick... fitted kitchen, tick.... preserved railway line 100m away, tick ! 🙂
Thanks for the video, great modelling and view! Its always interesting to watch your "how I did this" scenes and your modelling of countryside which doesn' t seem far from your window
Interesting and instructive video. I grew up in the 1950's in the Edinburgh suburb of Craigleith, not far from the station. From my bedroom window I had a view similar to that shown at 2:27, but almost level with my room as the railway ran on an embankment right at the end of our garden. My love of steam engines developed from there. It was so sad when they were replaced by DMU's! We left Edinburgh in 1961 and came to Australia.
As a young boy, I originated from the South Wales valleys. I remember these wagons running . They were normally hauled by a tank engine. I remember a brand new green 37 for the first time hauling an empty rake. My uncle drove the tank engines and I remember him having training to drive the 37,s. He then went on to drive the dmu passenger trains. Excellent job with the weathering. Well done . Thanks for posting
Hi, I also grew up in the Valleys. My dad was a coal miner. Pannier class 57 (the 8750 variant) #9600 was one of the locos at the colliery where he worked. It's still with us in preservation. There were also a couple of 08s too. The filthy, rusty wagons were trip worked to the exchange sidings where a 37 would collect them. It seemed at one time that there was a 37 lurking around every curve! I still love 'em.
@stephendavies6949 Hi Stephen You could see the pit from my grandads living room. On a Sunmy uncle would take us for a walk over the pit and we would walk between rows of these wagons. Trudging through black silt . This is what the track sat in . I always remember through all this silt and grime there was always foxgloves amongst it. The other thing I remember in the winter was the tank engine hauling giving out plumes of smoke and at the end of the rake and below the engine smoke the guards van would have a plume of smoke coming out of it,s chimney.
@jeffreydavies9036 Ah yes, the grime. It often looked as if the locos were running on just the ground, as the rails were almost completely covered by the stuff! By the time my dad's pit closed (Merthyr Vale) in the late 1980s, the really old wooden plank wagons had been scrapped, and HAA hoppers were in use in the yard. But the majority of wagons were still 12 & 16 tonne (or probably "ton") open steel types, and it was all still trip workings to/from the nearby Black Lion Junction.
@stephendavies6949 I,m from the Rhondda and used to go to work with my uncle, he drove on Treherbert, Merthyr, Barry routes . Merthyr Vale was fully operational then. How they managed to haul the wagons up the hill from Abercynon I will never know. The DMU,s used to at full throttle with all the windows in the doors rattling. Some of the stabling yards for the coal trains were huge for such narrow valleys. Another great viewing point for 37,s and coal trains were at Pontypridd. Don't think I ever went there and the station avoiding lines were not occupied. Last time I was there a new platform had been built on the avoiding lines.
Hi Lewis what a great job you done of those wagons really look well done, smashing video of the train for your window. great video again Lewis thank you.
In the US we would call them coal hoppers. Ours are beaten and battered inside and out, as well as filthy and rusty. One technique I have seen is to hold a hot soldering iron near, BUT NEVER TOUCHING, the plastic. As it gets hot, it softens and can be distorted and dented realisticly. Definitely not for unsteady hands. The view from your window is spectacular! Good to see your partner again!
Hi Lewis, nice job on those wagons. Why did we never know you had such a great view from your window....................I can see live train spotting from Lewis' window coming up one day! Anyway, great wagons. All the best Dave.
That opening shot of the heritage railway looks remarkably like the actual Yorkshire Dales railway near skipton! Never thought you’d be there! Nice 👊😎👍
They look great. A few dents and damage along the top edge would look good. I remember a lot like that and sides bowed out a bit. Not sure how you would do that, maybe a hair drier would soften the plastic enough and with a bit of wood wedged across the top, when it cooled the bow would remain with the wood removed. Inside detail is what impressed me with Rapido coal hoppers I bought recently. they are fully detailed with rivets and cross members, something Accurascale have missed out on this time.
Thank you 👍🏻 Yes I noticed that from a lot of photos. I didn’t even notice the lack of internal detail until you mentioned that. I guess most people model them full.
Wow! I didn't know you had a 1 to 1 garden railway as well.😊 Those wagons certainly needed that weathering to stop them from looking like plastic boxes. Nice job as always. Cheers!
Great video, loving the very brutal start to that weathering technique! Might have try that out on my new O gauge coal wagon, like you say there’s no right or wrong way of doing it. Thanks for uploading 👍 Cheers John b🥸
Interesting technique. Gratuitous shot of the East Lancs Railway at Stubbins much appreciated - if that was last Friday (19th) and the Footplate experience with the Jinty, I was duty signalman at Rammy.
Nicely done young man. The wagons look good together in the various states of decay. The colour differences along the train rake is impressive. I would use a flat than a pointed brush to drag the staining down, as it gives a better streaking effect with water or thinners. Your layout looks great too btw with the stone walling and the high bank behind the station with the trees etc is a smashing piece of work. If you've not done it, I'd like to see a tour of it as a video.
Excellent modelling, Lewis and what a view from your window! Looked like a GWR Pannier chugging away in the distance? Being a coal miner's son who grew up with several collieries within a very short distance of where we lived, filthy & rusty coal wagons were a daily sight. Frankly, some were in such bad condition it was difficult to determine whether they were of the vacuum brake variety or not! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you 👍🏻 I think it was a LMS Jinty, but I also thought it looked like a pannier tank watching this back. Wow, that’s interesting - from some of the reference photos I looked at, I can completely see how it might be hard to know whether they were vacuum braked or not!
Congratulations, what an amazing layout you have created. All the details are absolutely stunning. I am 68 now and I spent most of my working life on our railways, and to look at your railway is just like looking at the real thing. And to have a heritage railway nearby is a bonus as well. Credit to you sir, well done. And the 21 ton mineral wagons look amazing as well. Do you have a rake of 16 ton mineral wagons as well? I remember the real wagons and yours are identical. I shall be watching again. 👍🚂
Glad you announced the weathering portion of the video! I was wondering what pristine stock was doing on your layout. That view out the window is a huge plus too. Carry on! ;-)
Hi. Another nice video. Instead of using the screw driver to remove painted on grime maybe try a toothpick or wooden skewer stick. Witth reduce the risk of scratching. Dab point in water as you work on removing paint and powder mix. Thanks for posting.
Nicely done! The one thing that lets them down - nothing to do with you - is the lack of detail inside. Specifically the outline of the doors. Unless I just can't see it?
If you can get the PSI to suit the airbrush, (which in my experience doesn’t damage the airbrush, just affects the paint spray, but please check that first) the vast majority of airbrushes use the 1/8 BSP hose connection (about the width of a no. 2 pencil but maybe slightly larger) and you can get special adapters for different compressors
This is the one I have: amzn.eu/d/1vOHhOG I think the connections are mostly a standard size, I’ve used three different airbrushes with it and they’ve all been fine.
@@MouldyRaspberry that one is complete with an air brush. So I wouldn't actually need to get the one you used. Not having anything at present I was hoping that I could get that brush then get a separate compressor. Doesn't seem a lot of point of getting two brushes!!

Very nice modelling, I've had great results in using real rust that I make up myself! Lovely view too!

Look really good Mr Mouldy. Quite a laborious job but end result pleasing. 😊
Thanks John. Yes it was much more time consuming than I thought scratching all that off!
The weathering brings them to life....
Thanks, I think so too!
Brilliant Video Their. I Really Enjoyed it :)
Thanks 👍🏻
It’s great to see new accurascale products getting the full YDMR treatment, great video as always!
Thank you 😀
All il say is you have a lot more confidence,skill,patience and equipment than I,I envy you sir lol

Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks Kev 👍🏻
O wow 🤩 what a wonderful view from the window: the perfect live background for a model railway !
Thank you 😀 Yep it’s good for modelling inspiration.
Lovely weathering . Brave to do it on these expensive wagons .I can see where you get inspiration for your layout .
Yeah, I said the same thing when he weathered the Accurascale 37. Gulp!
Haha yep just got to the bite the bullet 😬 Thanks very much David, appreciate it.

Thank you 👍🏻
Great to see a gronk doing what it was built for, the hardest working engine of all time. I think.
Isn't a gronk an 08?
I did as well - maybe it’s a LMS Jinty is the steam version of a gronk?

fantastic weather ing
Thank you 👍🏻
It's easy to see where you got the inspiration for your railways from ❤ And your hair really needs cutting 😂😂😂
Haha true 🤣
Don't forget empty wagon insides would not be smooth. Coal doors would also be seen. Excellent layout by the way.
I didn’t even think about that, but that seems obvious now you’ve said it. I wonder why that’s not modelled.
Great job, that 37 had a SPAD
Thanks! I’m always forgetting that signal!
Nice bit of weathering and a nice rake of wagons. Looking at that air brush but wondering what compressor do you use?

Who‘s that railway specialist with the long brown ears? I didn‘t see ihm yet. Is he Your colour supervisor or somerhing |ike that?
Yes he’s my trusted advisor. He’s been known to occasionally eat the sheep and cows on the layout though.
Regarding the Air Brush, what sort of Compressor is needed? Will it fit any compressor (tubes, connections etc). Thanks
If you can get the PSI to suit the airbrush, (which in my experience doesn’t damage the airbrush, just affects the paint spray, but please check that first) the vast majority of airbrushes use the 1/8 BSP hose connection (about the width of a no. 2 pencil but maybe slightly larger) and you can get special adapters for different compressors
