One of my fav classes of BR standard, superb weathering . I have a personel rule "nothing pristine runs on my layout", loco's, stock, vehicles, buildings and even people. Enjoyable as ever.
Hello again Lewis. Again another enjoyable video as always, and another excellent result. You have now got this weathering of to a fine art. Well done. Chris.
Again saved for when I got home from work , lovely. Hope you and everyone on here is staying safe and keeping well. As always thanks for sharing. Regards. Eric.
Excellent tutorial, well done. I have one of this type running in my loft layout, along with other standard loco's. This is what a loco should look like rather than say a shiney flying Scotsman, but each to their own!!
Love your passion for this hobby, you have got a beautiful detailed layout and your video sounds make these videos really entertaining to watch . I wish you and your channel all the best for the future !
I am always fascinated by the way you turn a stock model locomotive into something really different, just with a few basic modelling tools and some man/hours. I can give you as an example of my personal definition of art : conjunction of craftsmanship and inspiration. You've got plenty of both.
Thank you, Lewis. Such a difference between ‘as unboxed’, compared with ‘ready for YDMR’. It is stunning. An excellent illustration of your art. Keep them coming! Peter
¡Hola buenos días Lewis! Wow, a double dose of weathering expertise, in one week. Your video today, along with the one I watched earlier in the week of Paul Apps, shows the wealth of talent we have amongst fellow hobbyists. In such a short space of time, you are able to add realism to what was already a fine model of a locomotive. If I can take away a small percentage of skill from your video, you have certainly done your job well. Thank you. Gary.
All well here Lewis. Been making up the box-frames for two mimic boards this morning. I don’t have a router so, I used a traditional spoke plane which, after 100 years, is still perfect for the job of cutting the channel for the Perspex to fit in to. It belonged to my grandfather and, felt really good to know it does exactly what he made it for - he was a carpenter and wheelwright. Anyway, lunch done so, back to the garage. Take care and happy modelling Lewis. Un Salud. Gary
Two of these took us Aberystwyth to Chester circa. 1965 for a schools trip for the zoo. It seemed like a good idea at the time so we emptied the toilet header tank by flushing the loos in the last carriage to see that they really did land on the track. Ashamed to admit it but I dropped an empty Tizer bottle onto a station platform as we flew past on the return leg of the journey. It was a really dangerous thing to do. The train was running flat out through Gobowen (I think), wrong line working. It makes me shivver to think of the injuries I could have caused someone. Anybody on that trip remember the loco numbers? Most primary school kids from the town were on it - probably a ten coach train. Lovely day out ... great locos, but I preferred Standard 4MT 4-6-0s and the Manors which had almost all gone by then.
Thanks Stephen - sounds like a good memory. Perhaps not the bottle or the toilets, but the train ride and the zoo for sure! I like the 4-6-0s and the Manors well.
Hi Lewis - the camera you're using now is doing a great job of recording your railway. You put SO much effort into this after all. If I'm truthful, I reckon that I take the cowards way out in modelling heritage lines, as I fully realise that I could never hope to achieve a fraction of the effect you get. I'd be mortified to give my stock that BIT of grubbiness that I feel it should have. Even museum exhibits are not as pristine as 'out of the box'. Great work, thanks for sharing and keep safe - Teresa & Paul - Findhorn Light
Thanks Teresa and Paul, appreciate it. I’m sure with a little practise you’d be a pro! Still, if it’s not the look you prefer stick with what you like! Hope you both have a great weekend.
Nicely weathered . We were supposed to be down in the dales in a few weeks not to be.So sad to here the NYMR is almost bankrupt and may not survive . Desperately sad times .
"Big points" Mouldy! I myself are a big friend of those kind of workings (1/220)!!! Thanks for sharing a new great weathering video mate. Stay well and have a nice weekend! Olli, alias "DER Z-CRACK"
Looks fantastic and what a difference it makes. I model steam in N scale and I’ve been terrified of weathering around the moving parts of locos, both tender driven and loco driven. My efforts have made a Farish 4MT mogul a very inconsistent runner which I don’t seem to be able to fix. I know you model OO rather an N, but how do you make sure the moving parts stay moving okay with the air brush painting? Does anyone have for any tricks for n scale weathering?
Thanks Simon. I give the wheels and pick ups a good scrub with a cotton bud soaked in isopropyl alcohol, that gets all the muck off. I use a battery to spin the wheels and then hold the bud on there to do this. Perhaps lubricate the moving parts after weathering? To be honest I’ve never had any issues, but perhaps N gauge you have to be a bit more careful, I’m not sure. The paint I use to airbrush with is so thin I wouldn’t have though it would have much effect on the moving parts anyway. Hopefully you can get it sorted though.
Hey there Lewis! You have a very easy to follow way of showing us how to weather a locomotive. Thank you. I have everything except the correct paint. I have just hesitated to weather my locomotive cuz I did not want to ruin something! LOL! The brands of paint you have over there in England would have a different name maybe over here oh, but I'm assuming it's something chalky and flat? And with an airbrush I don't think it can really be messed up unless it's put on too heavily. I see you just have very light Strokes passing over the locomotive.
Thanks very much Mike, appreciate it. I would have thought the Tamiya paints would be available where you are right? They are very thin, so much so that I don’t even thin them out of the bottle, so I’d definitely recommend these. Yes you’re right, as long as you don’t put thick heavy paint in the airbrush you can really go wrong, especially if you’re sticking to light strokes. Let me know how you get on!
Great video. Thank you for the guide. I read that you said you dont seal the powders as you like to change them, but if you were to seal them what would you recommend? Forgot it was friday than this popped up!
Sorry, I missed your comment! I would probably use a matt varnish sprayed through the airbush. I know Halfords do a matt varnish that a lot of modellers reccommend as well.
Beautiful as ever! Quick question: do you use the battery to rotate the wheels during the spraying process? I can see the rods etc causing gaps otherwise. Or is that no necessary due to the ‘drift’ of the spray? Cheers Lewis 👍
Thanks Andrew. Yes I do, obviously just have to careful picking the loco if the paint is still a bit wet. It’s especially noticeable if the rods are in front of the balancing weights on the wheel, then they have a shiny un weathered stripe on them!
Hello there; I been watching your vids for a while now, and I've been in awe of the attention to detail you've put into every inch. In fact, I've been wanting to have a go at something similar, but I'm stymied by something for my planned centrepiece train; as far as I can tell from my searching no one's ever done a video on how to weather British outline closed vans that have wooden bodies- indeed, nearly every weathering video for OO-gauge wagons that I've seen have been for 'Windcutters', wooden RCH mineral wagons, or modern bogie tankers. Do you happen to have any suggestions?
Thanks David. Do you mean something like this? th-cam.com/video/EyMcqYpx19Q/w-d-xo.html I was thinking of getting a few more Dapol box vans at some point, so that would perhaps make a good video. I’d just use the airbrush for the underframe, but you could easily use a brush, then dry brush the body and perhaps repaint the odd plank, as if it’s been replaced.
@@MouldyRaspberry That's not a bad idea, actually; though a video about where the weathering spots would be is also good- like a bit of wear and rust stains on the door hinges, maybe; or soot on the roof; maybe a wash to show grime in between the panels, and so on. For the record, my layout is going to be inter-war LNER in East Anglia, and the 'centrepiece' train I mentioned is an early morning milk, parcels and newspapers service.
Enjoyed the weathering and what a difference it makes ........Question .......Do you seal the weathering power on the loco once you have finished it ???...Thanks .....KEEP THEM COMING IT BREAKS THE DAY UP TO WATCH THE CLIPS ......
Hi Paul. Thanks very much mate, hope all is well with you. No I don’t seal the powders, I like to be able to change the look later on, and don’t really handle the locos once they’re on the layout.
Very nice Lewis, definitely looks the part rolling through the dales. I’ve just finished a rake of wagons and my 2 J15s now, still got loads to do though. Great video and I really enjoyed seeing your steps and processes for your weathering. I’m your eyes what’s the advantages to using a airbrush over doing it all with spray varnish and powders alone? I haven’t yet swapped to an airbrush but may do when the world quietens down. Cheers, Ross.
Thanks Ross. Very nice, I might give my J15 a set of red coupling rods like yours actually. I’m not sure there is any real advantage, I guess it just depends what look you prefer. For me I like the shine it gives the boiler, compared to the matt smokebox - I really like that effect. But I guess you could do the same with varnishes. Have a good one bud.
Mouldy Raspberry I must admit the red coupling rods are a very nice touch, however my second J15 I painted it’s rods black. I think I used a gloss black then weathered over them, which turned out quite nice. But I must admit the red coupling rods look nice and against the weathering on your J15 it would really make it stand out. Hope you’re having a good’n too bud, Ross.
Excellent Video Lewis and the result is brilliant. Is there an Airbrush you would say was good for someone starting out on the Airbrush Journey...………......Cheers Kev
Thanks Kev. When I decided to get one, I called someone up at airbrushes.com, and they recommended a starter kit that included the compressor, hose and the airbrush. I think the whole thing was around £80. I’ll link the compressor below. Since then I ended up getting a Iwata airbrush, one of the decent ones, just because the one in the starter set used to clog up quite often. I use the same compressor though.

Bonjour Lewis, Amazing work of art ! It's incredible how your 'weathering technique' changes the look of an out of the box loco into a real workhorse running on your beautiful layout. What a difference ! I'm still in the building process of 'The AnneliesVille RR' but I have trains running on the new section since yesterday. Need a lot of landscaping now. Afterwards I intend to 'paint' all my loco's in a greenish - blue and weather them accordingly. I will need to buy all the equipment like airbrush - paints etc. I'm sure you can give us good advise on this. What equipment do you use ? And also: is this 4MT a Hornby or Bachmann loco - and is it a good performer ? (I love this loco.) Thanks for sharing Lewis - A great video as always ! Greetings from France and 'keep safe' ! Filip
Thanks very much Filip, always appreciate it. 👍🏻 Glad you’ve got some trains running on your new section. The compressor I use is this: www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/product/as18-2-airbrush-compressor The airbrush itself is from Iwata - a little more expensive but they are damn good, super smooth, never clog up etc. Especially with Tamiya paints. The 4MT is a Bachmann model - yes it’s a really good performer. I really like them as well. Hope you’re well my friend and stay safe!
Thanks mate! The lamps are all from Modelu, and are either BR(M) or BR(E), but they do Western Region lamps as well. You do need to paint them and add the lenses, but they are great and slot right into the brackets so you can change them easily.
Such nice work and soothing to watch. The transformation from model train to railroad engine in the countryside is quite wonderful.
Thanks very much Christopher 👍🏻
One of my fav classes of BR standard, superb weathering . I have a personel rule "nothing pristine runs on my layout", loco's, stock, vehicles, buildings and even people. Enjoyable as ever.
Thanks, mine as well. I think that’s a good rule to have, I’ve been toning down some of the shiny figures on mine today as well.
Have a great weekend.
Hello again Lewis. Again another enjoyable video as always, and another excellent result. You have now got this weathering of to a fine art. Well done. Chris.
Thanks very much Chris, appreciate it.
Looks fantastic and just how I remember them in 68 👍🏻

Cheers Sam, always appreciate it mate.
An amazing transformation
Thanks Leo!
Such an eye for detail. I was particularly taken with the reduced level of coal in the tender.
Thanks James, appreciate it.
It looks just how I remember them. Great weathering. Sometimes I wish a preserved one was left to get in that condition
Thanks! Yeah that would be cool to see, especially at a gala or something.
Nice looking loco is that 👍
Thanks Ian 👍🏻
Great weathering work, and as always fantastic layout.
Thank you 😀
Lovely job on that loc lewis , enjoyed the video, cheers Paul at Sandling Junction

When you use tamiya acrylics , what do you use to clean your airbrush?
I just use water, but have some airbrush cleaner as well that I sometimes spray through.
Great video.

I read that you said you dont seal the powders as you like to change them, but if you were to seal them what would you recommend?

Was it sprayed with Matt varnish to keep the weathering powders on ?
Yes I do usually get the loco a varnish.

The 4MT is a Bachmann model - yes it’s a really good performer. I really like them as well.
Hope you’re well my friend and stay safe!
Fantastic work Lewis. The 4MT looks right at home now you've applied those extra details. Where do you get your locomotive lamps from? Stay safe. GWR
