Realistic Locomotive Weathering

- In this video I make a start on a project I've been putting off for months. Going through my collection & repainting/re-weathering anything I'm not happy with to a better standard. Much of my stock was weathered by an inexperienced me about 5-6 years ago. I've gone through & improved/fixed 7 locos and weathered my 2 newest items so far.
I don't claim any of the work to be on a professional level but it's certainly quite a bit better than my previous efforts. It's all about learning and improving your skills.
Big thanks to Paul Clark for allowing me to use some of his excellent footage from the time period. Link to his channel..

I have a few more locos & units to work on. Next video will focus back on the layout. Enjoy!

I'm Everard Junction, and this is my Masterclass.
There is something incredibly satisfying about your attention to detail, I've no intention of building a layout, I've never even owned a train set but in these very odd and uncertain times this was the most calm and relaxed 50 minutes of my week, just thought I'd let you know, thanks :-)
@Aryan White Its at least a 9.5/10 for stress relief :-)
As an Ex. Crewe Works railway engineer - if a remember correctly the white lines on the wheels denoted that new wheel flanges have been fitted to the wheel pans. Its a long time since (over 25 years) I spend one night doing class 47 de-bogies and bogie ups, I was brought up repairing Class 47 loco's - what a work horse its a shame the vast majority are now scrap - great videos and your standard of work is excellent
Hey, you're spoiling us - the last video only went up last week! (No complaints from this side of course...) :-)
A very, very good example of 'less is more'. And just because something is old , it doesn't mean it was filthy....washing trains obviously wasn't beyond the wit of man back then! Another superb video
Exactly, add some grime of course but check some pictures first! Cheers
As someone who has spent more than half their life living next to a (reasonably) busy railway, I've always been impressed with your realism. This, however, takes up to an astonishing new level - just incredible.
Great video! Just a note, on locomotive exams (A,B,C ect) one of the jobs is cleaning the warning panel, hence why the yellow ends of locos look cleaner than the bodywork. Hope this helps :)
What a way to spend lock down cheered my day up.
I've been watching you since your old layout and love every single one of them.
Keep up the good work and keep yourself safe.
Mandy
What a stunning job Richard!!! You are a real artist! Stay save!! Cheers Onno.
Many thanks, as always. Your videos are the best, for years. Keep them comming.
The age old adage "Less is More" certainly applies here Richard. Superb results as ever. Great stuff.
Richard, really appreciate this superb update, a much needed relief from the boredom of lockdown. Keep up the great work.
Another excellent video! Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience. Lots of useful tips and advice. Inspirational!
Great video again Richard , thanks for passing on these great techniques
You 're extremely talented. Im so impressed. One of those insights I feel we rarely get to see people share their expertise to us. Thank you for sharing. Loved watching the video
Amazing skill and detail goes into every piece.. truly amazing
Well done
Brilliant weathering and so realistic. When I was a Secondman in the late 1970's we used to always clean the cab and side windows, handrails, marker lights/tail lights and the loco numbers while she was being refueled, and yes the fuel gauge always got a wipe over if needed. Another great video, thank you.
Another great video Richard, plenty 47s too👍👍👍 your attention to detail is just raising the bar another notch. Thank you for sharing.
Great video Richard, I'm tempted to have a go so thank you for the guide!
Brilliant weathering. Great tips and inspiration to do my own 47s. The orange cantrail lining on that Grid is awesome. Can't wait for your next vid.
Fascinating process and wonderful results. Not a model railroader myself, but I have followed your work for two-three years, and have enjoyed the journey thus far.
just amazing skill on display...love your work
What a great video, learning so much
Thanks Richard looking great
Excellent skills and a good eye for detail, really bringing it to life.
The clips from Paul Clark make me feel a way I can't describe; nostalgic, almost regretful, like "I was born too late" kind of feeling (I'm 32). I absolutely love it, and I'm not even from the UK. Excellent job recreating the look and feel of that fantastic era of British Rail. Stay healthy and carry on. I always look forward to your next upload.
Thank you for uploading videos on weathering. It’s something I’m looking into and watching your videos And researching the real thing I’m learning quite a lot.
Excellent video!
Good work on the reworking of the weathering. Now nicely subtle.
The white quarter-marks you mentioned are wheel-creep indicators. As you will know, diesel and electric loco wheels are made up of the wheel and a profiled steel ‘tyre’ which is sweated onto the wheel. The ‘tyres’ when the loco is pulling hard can move on the wheel, and the slippage can be seen by the difference in position of the two parts of the wheel-creep marks.
The marks were usually applied by depot or at Works wherever a full wheel-set change had taken place.
Love the 80’s music - best music ever came out of this decade! (Apart from the bit which had the wow and flutter..!)
Best wishes from the Wirral. Stay safe.
More fantastic content! Lovely video Richard.
I always look forward to your videos and I like the way that you always seek to improve and learn from what you have done
great video: Also nice to see my home town King's Lynn on your layout.keep them coming
Hi , the white marking on the wheels was applied after new tyres where fitted to see weather the tyre had slipped on the wheel. If the marks were not in line thdn the tyre had slipped !!! only applied to locos with tyres , great video and weathering is just right .
Blimey, clicked on the video and thought it was an episode of Miami Vice! 😀
Fantastic work as ever!
Thanks Richard for another great Video. Now I'm starting to look at all my loco's in my fleet to see if they all need weathering..(yes they all do)
Amazing work. Lots can be taken from this video and I remember your older weathering videos very well, as they were in my favourite play lists. Seams it will be replaced with this. Thanks for sharing and video this. I really need to weather my locomotives. Hope your keeping well and all the best, Clint.
Thanks Clint. Glad you enjoyed it. I certainly had a good time going back through some of my 'forgotten' locos and giving them a new lease of life.
I model US trains and you've inspired me to re-do one of the engines I weathered a bit too much. Besides your weathering, the layout detailing is great. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely fantastic intro!
Absolutely marvellous weathering Richard, they really do look like the real thing!
Superb detailing. Great video as always.
Thanks again Richard, not many that would set up some of their own work (all be it from a while ago) as "leaving a bit to be desired" and give a master class on how it should be done.
Mate your B-roll is on point every time! Great stuff!
I always liked your weathered look. I like it even better now.
Fabulous job there Richard the locos look really nice.
cheers Nic
Great effort Richard great job!
Great video Richard and perfect timing, I’ve got the 37 in Engineers to do my self and a 50 in NSE so will look at these techniques very useful. Thanks Andy
Good to see your keeping busy in isolation
I never ever loose interest in your content , absolutely bang on the money you should be on TV . 👍
I see some "New Retro Wave" inspired music and graphics at the start of the video👌... best decade ever🤘 keep it up 😉
Stunning super work
Nice work. The real 47535 was a special one for me.The white wheel stripes are a nice touch, done to be able to check for shifted tyres. Like you said freight locos back then were regularly seen with clean cabs and dirty bodies. Never going through the wash plants that passenger locos did, the cab windows/fronts were cleaned on depots by fitters mates during normal servicing with the body sides done just now and again perhaps on the periodic exams.
Love the long videos, very informative.
Very nice weathering, certainly looks far more detailed and much closer to the prototype.
These intros are amazing!
Nicely done!
Richard, it was only yesterday i watched episode 12 on weathering and went and checked the RPA as per your recommendation and i too noticed that my loco didn't really need a lot of weathering, another great vid. Cheers mate
Looks absolutely amazing mate the layout is coming on fantastic keep the lock dawn videos coming
Llevo viendo tus videos y he podido observar como has ido mejorando tu técnica. El color y el tratamiento que le das a las vías es de lo mejor que he visto. Mi enhorabuena.
Best regards
Brilliant video Richard you are a genius 👍
I dont own a single train but i love the videos .... Great content as always loving the new 80s retro vibe ;) PS: your attention to detail is phenonmenal!!
Super stuff Richard, really enjoyed the old footage too! Joe
HI there. I've just seen you on TV, Hornby series, I had to come and see your videos and I am well impressed, Your attention to detail is remarkable, thank you for sharing. I will enjoy watching the rest of your videos in the coming days... Mac#
Great video, very tempted to have a go myself.
Your self objectivity is refreshing and inspiring, big up man. Regan, BMS, Australia.
Hi Richard another great informative video
Great job!:)
Thank you Richard, for again an excellent video! I really enjoyed myself and it was once more very educational. Your channel is one of the reasons I picked up the hobby again almost 4 years ago and jumped in head first into DCC. I learned tons of your how to videos and was in total shock when you ripped up your old layout :). I'm a N-scale modeller and trying to develop myself in all aspects of this exciting hobby. From running trains fully automatic using RocRail, doing DCC conversions to making CAD drawings to 3D print accessories like catenary portals in every shape and sizes common to the dutch railways. Keep up the excellent videos and thank you very much for all the time and effort to put into making these videos.
Cheers Edwin
Thanks Edwin. Its a great hobby with so many challenges and projects to get involved in. More vids are in the works as always, cheers.
Proper love the new intro!!
And 2 vids in a week! Hell yes!!!!!!
I will be trying to stick to one video a week for the time being, cheers!
Great editing! Really good quality video
Some awesome 80s music in this video. 👌
Genial. Congratulations :)
Can just say how talented you are in the model hobby. You have also got a beautiful layout
Excellent! You are inspiring me to weather some of my N gauge locomotives.
That "totally awesome" cleaner is interesting, especially in its ability to clean glazing. I shall have to get some of that. It will be particularly useful for removing the no smoking signs from one carriage of an HST set, as there was always one (coach B from memory) in these days where smoking was allowed.
Super gemacht
Superb video, Richard. I have just narrowed my loco stock down to around 40 locos from over 100 three years ago. Just finished building my painting and spray section so now no excuse. I think I will start on the cheaper end though and clear some of the 800 freight wagons many of which are identical, so this will be a good way to NOT use the production line technique. Wish I was doing a bigger scale than N at times.!!
Cheers, Bob
well done Richard
Hello Everard Junction, very good job and very nice technic weathering.
Amazing! Once again, just what is needed during lockdown 🔐 cheers Richard and all the best from NZ 🇳🇿
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it. Had it not been for the lockdown I would have struggled to find the time for this one, cheers.
Richard the white stripes on the wheels would have likely been present on all older locos. They are there so that the maintenance staff can check if the tyre has slipped relative to the wheel itself, as the tyre and wheel are seperate items believe it or not.
If the loco comes in and the tyre marks show that movement has occurred, it is re-marked and sent back out. If it happens again then the wheelset is replaced.
Correct, I cut the explanation out of the edit due to run time. Same applies to the green pointers you see on commercial vehicle wheel nuts. The white marks where also applied to passenger rolling stock but the marks where on the inside of the wheel so not to alarm the passengers!
EverardJunction ahh fair play! Yes indeed! Witness marks. Every nut/bolt on rolling stock is supposed to have them, although with dirt/oil they fade away.
I remember having to check tyre marks on 57’s which sometimes got confusing if someone had re-marked them but not got rid of the old ones!
Great video mate.
@@UndergroundEric Working on classic cars I don't have to worry to about that but they do come up from time to time. Mostly from the factory for warranty purposes. Glad you enjoyed the vid, cheers.
Some VMIs call for the witness marks to be on the inside because it is easier for maintenance staff to check for a shifted tyre when doing a walk under as part of an exam, not because it would scare passengers because most passengers don't notice and wouldn't really understand why a shifted tyre would be a bad thing.
@@CairnieR Thanks for the info, my info which I read some years ago was clearly incorrect!
A day spotting at Everard Junction...quality stuff mate.
Lovely video
Nice job, one of the first weathering videos where someone has actually researched the subject 👍🏻
Cheers! Research is the most important bit of the project. I always check the actual loco before getting the paint out.
Watching this has given me the motivation to try my hand at weathering my own locomotives. I'm sure I am not alone in the fear of 'ruining' a loco with my lack of skill, but as they say, you'll never know until you try.
Loving the layout and videos are superb. Please keep up the great work.
I you use acrylics, rather than enamels as shown in the video, there's much less danger of ruining anything -- the paint will wash off with soap and water or, in the worst case, 70% isopropyl alcohol. No need for aggressive cleaners.
I LOVE the intro.
Fine work Sir as usual
Just started out on here in December love filming my layout progress and also watching your progress 👍🏻
you've got your recent weathering pretty much perfect
Richard you are an excellent modeller and your videos are so interesting and entertaining. This is from someone who models British N gauge in the 50/60s. Looking forward to the next programme.
You're right about weathering being over done. You only really see filthy locos during the sandite season or in the middle of winter. I remember seeing some weathering project in model rail probably 20 years ago and being impressed at the time but looking back they look hideous. I think you've got it right with most of the grim around the grills and other indents.
Great video, I'm not sure how I found your channel (I don't have a layout and don't usually watch videos like this), but there is something special with the level of detail and attention you put into your hobby that just makes me want to watch more.
Thanks. I try to keep the content accessible and fun. It can be a very nerdy subject so I try hard to walk the line between learning some stuff and having fun. Quite a few have commented they they enjoy it despite not being into trains so I guess its working. Cheers
Two vids in a week....is it Christmas 😆 top work as always Richard 👍
The loco that looked ex works in Paul's clips was 37501, Teesside steelmaster. It was overhauled at Doncaster in summer 1989, losing its unique, but unauthorised, British steel blue livery for railfreight metals. The train its hauling is the Doncaster works test train.
You’re certainly in a league of your own with the 80’s musical video openings :-) your weathering is better than several people who claim to be ‘professional’. A lot of excellent work there and of course some great actual footage... that’s always going to get my attention :-) good work. Dave
Cheers Dave. The silly intros have gone down a lot better than I thought. They're expected now so I've got to keep them going! Good fun to make too
A few black dead fly marks on the yellow cab wouldnt go a miss,, they were always covered in them even the cleaner ones, one trip to Brighton and back would have made loads of them for sure. Even the Gatwick expresses were caked in them and they had those cleaned up in pretty good shape most of the time. Great work as always, keep em coming!
A good point and something I've not yet tried. Will experiment and see how I get on with the next one. Cheers
A very good tutorial on weathering although I must say that your previous versions of weathering were also very good.
I like the you tube video inserts. Nice touch
Nice intro vaporwave !!!!!!!!
They all look good Richard.
Hopefully we'll all be back to normal soon, but at least you can relax in the loft and forget things for a few hours. Hope everything goes ok work wise, I'm in tourist industry so worrying for all
I'm ok at the moment. Enjoying the opportunity to make progress on the layout. This project would have taken me months otherwise. Gotta stay positive, take care.
Thay look brilliant I wish I had that talent
sweet job on 47535
Those locos are all stunners mate. You make it look so simple (not easy) to get good results. I might dig out a few old Lima models and get practicing before I hack at the Bachmann locos though!! Hope you're safe mate.
All safe here, hope the same applies to you. An old lima model is the best place to start, I went for a bachmann 20 and ruined it! Its a simple process but its so hard to not overdo it, at least in my experience. Cheers
