Mike, that's the perfect response I give whenever I hear someone say "Oh, I could never do that". Get an old shell (even a crappy boxcar!) and TRY IT!. Josh has amazing skills, but I'll guarantee he didn't just wake up one day with all these skills. Like everything, you gotta start somewhere - and your idea is perfect. Just show us how it comes out, next year, OK? And thanks for the soapbox, Josh and ScaleTrains.
I’m working on making an ALCo 6-axle rs-1 locomotive in HO scale, and I’m considering putting a burn mark on the side of the exhaust stack and the conductor’s side of the long hood.
Looks really cool my man👍🏼. I love GE’s but damn do they love to have catastrophic failures! You never have to worry about putting burn marks on an EMD lol
Great question. Masking the wheels beforehand is an option, however in this video the wheels were cleaned afterwards. (Sometimes masking residue can stick on the wheels, so cleaning them is often necessary even after masking). To clean, you can dampen a paper towel or cloth with rubbing alcohol and spin the locomotive wheels over it (one truck at a time), while holding it stationary. -Drayton
The prototype was really cooked. Nice job on recreating this look.
Josh certainly does great work! -Drayton
JOSH DOES GREAT WORK MODELING THOSE TOASTERS!!
Well done and kudos to Josh for the fine work done there. Very realistic and it takes the model to a whole new level of detail in my opinion.
Very informative. I'm going to follow this step by step on a couple of tyco shells and then start on my ST unit.
We're glad the video helped! Thanks for watching. -Drayton

Todays younger modelers are very talented
Planning on my buying a H1 Dash I might whether it slightly since in my time era it’s brand new
Thanks for the video! I’m going to do this on my dash 9 too!
Thank for watching, friend. -Drayton

For sure. -Drayton
great job
Love these tutorials ❤️
Outstanding! 👍
Thank you! Cheers! -Drayton
I love these videos but I could never bring myself to do this to one of mine! From the factory they have a perfect as-built sheen.
Looks fantastic! I wish there was a final shot on the rails.
Thanks for watching. -Drayton

Awesome! Thank you for watching and for considering our products for your roster. -Drayton
You could have a fire effect from cotton and leds
That whitish primer is that like Seagull Gray?
It's more of a metallic gray. -Drayton
I watched the weathering video and now this. Are you cleaning your wheels afterwards? Or do you have them masked?
Great question. Masking the wheels beforehand is an option, however in this video the wheels were cleaned afterwards.

The 1st time I ever seen bnsf was in Dalton Georgia and I saw a burn mark On the BNSF locomotive Right where the b is
I just bought my 5th Operator! Great video but I just cannot put weathering on mine sorry not gonna happen! Great video!
Thanks for commenting, Jac Jac. We understand! Thank you for your business. We hope you're enjoying all five of your Operator locomotives. -Drayton
Whoa
I've watched you weather a few models but you never say what you are using for clear coat.
I could never do this to a scaletrains, but a KATO and Athearn yes.
We understand how it can be a little frightening, but never be afraid to practice on other models first. Thanks for watching! -Drayton
B.N.S.F. locomotives are a good thing to have on Halloween.
Burnt Pumpkin ;)
Sorry I missed the chat
but, can they have real flames coming out of the stack?
