- In this video I show just how easy it is to create believable and realistic weathering effects for freight cars. using a simple method and budget supplies, we take a basic budget box car and turn it into a presentable looking piece.
There are many methods out there that can produce excellent weathering effects. This is simply, one method of many.
A lot of folks have a fear weathering and the potential destruction of their models. With practice and experimentation on an item of less value, anyone can learn to weather.
Please be sure to help our hobby grow by sharing and subscribing to this channel. Stay tuned for more videos.

Omg thanks for showing us your work. I made my PFE box car come to life! I used the velljho washes and pigments and it worked perfectly! Thanks again for the tutorial!
Thanks Joey! You make what seems hard.....easy. And....you make it fun to watch!!!
Joey- thanks for another easy to do and effective modeling technique.
That weathering looks amazing. Now I just need to find some cheap rail stock to experiment with.
Joey, FANTASTIC. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank You Joey
That come out looking pretty darn good, thanks for sharing.
Very cooool. A well appreciated tip for us small budget modelers. Thanks!
WOW he did what he said he would and provide a cheap way to weather, no $300 bucks out the door on an air brush!! Thxs!!!
THANK YOU...for sharing.
I got the roof of a Burlington northern boxcar to turn out amazing so far, thank you so much
Excellent job of demonstrating your technique...results are great..lastly love the Video crossing Yellow Breeches in Boiling Springs on the Lurgan..
I do read all the comments, good, bad and ugly. Thanks for participating all.
cool =)
Thank you for this video! I have gone back to this video several times for reference when I weather my cars , love this method!
Hey, can you tell me what that engine was at the very end of the video?
Great one ! Thank you so much ! :)
Brilliant, I cant wait to try this
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing these tips!
Your back! Your the best mate; thanks for these videos.
Hi vngang I have g
Thanks for sharing.....
That. Was. Awesome! Thanks!
Excellent video Joey! A unique way to weather O scale cars.
I'm all about Budget!
This is Great! Thank You!
Nice. So....the hobby IS affordable. Good work and thanks for sharing.
simply fantastic !! thanks for sharing
There are so many techniques , This one turned out great , I will try on some Tiny N Scale & see if I get this same result
Really nice job. I love seeing other people's methods.
Just noticed your channel today. I have seen many good channels relating to the hobby. This is surely one of the best. Very informative and fast moving commentary.
Doing more Trackside reruns. Always good to come back to your videos Joey. Love the way you show these methods. Think you really do a great job in helping people to discover their own artistic license. Just by breaking it down into understandable chunks. As to help reduce the fear people may have getting into their models this way. Anyhow, for my humble self; it helps getting from the initial brown rust blob to fine detail nuances. Plus, the method also gives a different perspective for other applications. Can’t say I use thinner on the ProCreate palette, but definitely use the colors to age my images.
Thanks for publishing your work. Cheap rolling stock in "O" scale? One day I'll get up the nerve to try this artistry once I locate "El Chepo!"
I just wanted to say, this is the most practical video I’ve found on weathering IMO. Great tutorial! On my next round of weathering, this will be in repeat lbvs
Thanks, much appreciated.
WoW!!! Awsome video and great tips... I'll add these to my technique that I already use. Using a wash is something that I've been doing for awhile now with great success.
Came across this video and your site while looking up weathering. I always wanted to try weathering techniques for my n scale rolling stock. You make it look so easy. I recently purchased acrylic paints and chalks as you showed but was skiddish on doing it. You gave me the confidence to try it after watching this video multiple times. Thank you so here goes... and please keep up the great videos!
Excellent work and great video. Thanks!
Looks excellent!
Looks great!!!
Nice video, the result of the weathering looks very good!
Awesome!! Happy New Year!
THANKS GREAT VIDEO AS SHOW LOT IDEAR IN WORKS
Lots to learn.
Fantastic!
Hi Joey, good job on the video. Your voice is clear, comfortable and easy to listen to. You were concise with little to no "uhms" "uhhh" and a and "like..."
Technique wise, really easy to follow and the final results were really good. I've been doing this for a while and I'll be sure to recommend your video and channel.
Best. Chris
Thanks for a great video. No rocket science here! Looking forward to trying this technique on my N Scale rolling stock.
Looks like it came out great! I want to weather some of my cars soon.
This is excellent.
The lurgan is probably my favorite lines to go down. I wish we were allowed to take videos now a days. Thanks Adam.
Yeah, I did like that run. We qualified from Hagerstown up there right after the merger. At first none of the NW/SOU guys wanted any part of it so I held the small pool job for awhile until they realized it paid lots of miles and the hotel in Mechanicsburg was fantastic. After that it was hard to grab even on a vacancy.
Never thought of painting the floors white(ish) and then weathering them with a wash; thanks, I like that idea.
looks great nice job
Amazing results
Thank you very much. I'm definitely going to try this out. I am working in N scale, so it's a little more difficult!
I was beginning to think you two were never coming back from honeymoon ! Another great video Joey
One can only take so much of Jamaica....lol
Great information as usual
Subscribed, Thanks!
Outstanding video
Fantastic video, I'm subscribing !!
Wow! Your car looks great! Thanks for posting. I also make my own weathering chalks. I use the same kitchen grater that you use. I just grind up some white chalk and mix some food coloring in a communion cup, then add my chalk. After mixing it up I pour it out on my cutting mat and wait for it to dry. Then I use a single edged razor blade and cut it up as if you were cutting out a line of cocaine. :-) Then I store it in the cup that I mixed it in. Works really great if you don't have the $$ to buy weathering powders or weathering chalks.
THANKS FOR IDEAR IN VIDEO
Wow! That clown car really turned out nice! I think it's a good idea to start out on cheap rolling stock--just in case!
V nice...
very good method... and the key with the chalks as you mentioned is the TEXTURE you get... it's not just flat blah... it seems to jump at your eye
This is the first one of your videos I have viewed. I dig your style, so I am subscribing to dig deeper!
Great video, loadsa good ideas & techniques & using products that aren’t going to cost a fortune...🤗 Will sure have to give them a go.....🙂👍
nice
Great job on that. Looks like it should be behind your loco
Great video and tutorial of your style of weathering! Never thought about the Chalks but I've made a note to self to get some! The boxcar turned out awesome and very realistic to say the least! I'm a new subscriber of your channel and I'm viewing your videos from Delmar, Delaware!
What type of paint thinner do you use for the solvent based paint? Turpentine, rubbing alcohol, mineral spirits, air brush thinner, or something else?
I sometimes use camouflage spray paint
Hey joey did you seal the car In the end or in between layers ? If so what do you seal with. Thanks David
Great tutorial! Is there some spray finish required at the very end to set the chalk?
Do you leave it as is when done weathering? Or do you apply a clear coat to keep from smudging or fingerprints?
Thanks Joey! Do you still work for the Class 1?
Awesome tutorial! What kind of chalk is that? Common blackboard chalk? How about pastel crayons?
Looks great and easy to do thanks. I know you said you don't seal but you could seal after the desired effect is achieved, correct?
Yes but it might darken the result.
I’m going to try to weather a Bachmann Thomas Mail Coach, do you have any tips?
Maybe you should try the citadel wash they don't puddle as much as regular acrylic paint and give off a good look
great vid, what scale do you work in
so using alcohol mixed with enamel paint will "wash" it down (thin it out)?
Petroleum jelly as "adhesive", children's street chalk with water & finish with hairspray.
I took the body off the car and I have a plastic tub with some algae/maybe hopefully mosquito net current stuff, but… I took the body off, put it in the water, put cement on top, and the more decrepit uneven shaped little piece of metal that’s not a semi but a little more sharp it seems like seems to be working a little more better than/van the other more rectangular heavier piece of metal. But there still rusty when I found them or so, but just wasn’t sure how long it’d take or so
Is it just my imagination, or does light scatter through the medium of most paints (a little bit like a thin layer of wax)? If so, would chalks make for sharper and more realistically lit surface on most objects?
I have bought several weathering kits. and none have gray colored power ? tried to mix black and white not a good idea.
Hi Joey - Big fan! Does sealing your weathering with some version of dullcote alter your good work much? I have N scale so fingerprints from handling are my concern. Thanks!!
Any overcoating adds a film layer. I don't use it, but you could always try it. Who knows, you might even leave a finger print in the coating. Honestly, myself and most of the guys I know don't take cars on and off the layout much (handling).
@@tracksidescenery Gotcha. I won't worry about it then! Thanks-from nearby Mount Vernon!
I know this is years old but Im just getting to see it. In many of your weathering videos, you end with chalk but I never see you cover the chalk with anything to "set" it. Do you leave the loose chalk as is? Id think that any time you handle the car or loco after that it would screw up your work?
Question: don't you to seal the weathering dust to keep from being removed by normal handling of the finished weathered car? It seems to me that the dust will fall off or come off when you pick up the completed car?
Good question Jon - In the video I use "add bite" to describe the surface we are preparing and this is the very reason. The dust doesn't just fall off, but surely you could accidentally "wipe" some of it off. I don't seal any of my freight car weathering simply because I am not handling them much. The layers settle and if a fingerprint or something does appear, then I would just touch it up. I've rarely had to do that even with the display layout rolling stock . Handle with care.....
Thank you, Joey!
Another thing to be aware of when weathering with chalk then using a matte finish or clear coat it will make your work a lot darker than it originally looks so keep that in mind when weathering. A little light coat of chalk gets real dark when sprayed.
now that is SWEETA!!!! LOVEN that car..... Some really great tips and techniques ,,, Thanks Joey for sharing ,,
Tom from ETHYNVILLE BRO420
Thanks for the great video!
However, there is one thing I cannot solve: where to get chalk in colors like brown, black, grey, dark red, and so on? The only supplier I could find, would be some high-end artist stuff, which would absolutely not be the budget type.
I tried several of those craft store chains to no avail. They only stock those sidewalk chalks for children which only come in a lmited rage of bright colors.
Could you please provide a retailer and/or a brand name of the chalk you are using?
Usually larger craft stores or try ordering online from arts supply companies. Michaels Crafts used to carry the chalks I used in that video.
Now what if I'm weathering a bright green BN boxcar???
I don´t understand why you do the black wash first and then paint the roof? Wouldn´t it be better you do the paint first?
What's scale is this?
o scale
Not beer. Lol.
Or go on ebay and get cheap ones too
Western Maryland is a "fallen flag."
but there the best
Maybe you shouldn't spray painted it will lose detail try air brushing
*Budget* supplies
