Good job. I want to try this on two of my UPs. Thanks for sharing. FYI. We broke ground for the foundation for my Train shed / Layout building. I will keep you in touch.
If you apply a coat of Dullcote or another matte varnish, the powders will adhere much better. Additionally, some powders have inherent adhering properties.
John, any light gray craft acrylic will do and if I’m really going for a faded look I will use a touch of white in the wash. One of the things that has made this technique successful for me is mixing the wash as I work through multiple applications. For example if the first few washes aren’t building a faded look as well I hoped I may add a touch more white, etc. That being said, don’t worry too much about specific colors as I couldn’t even tell you half of the color names used. Learning to work with the paint and mixing with other paints (or water) I think is more important than the specific colors.
Unfortunately I don’t have any coal hoppers in my fleet at the moment to weather. I do have some older model cars that I will likely have to part with an may do some weathering on them before I try and sell them. No coal over the Cascade Sub. I may try some ballast hoppers which may be similar?

Really enjoying your weathering videos. I'm always interested when I see what you can do without an airbrush.
It’s very nice of you telling us specific color names you used. Nice video and works! :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Nicely explained and awesome result. My wife’s hairdryer is one of my favourite weathering tools!👍👍👍
The hairdryer makes the technique work!
Awesome technique my friend.Can't wait to see another update of your layout.
One is in the making!
That is a superb job you made of the engine, so pleased i saw this as im just starting a new layout, Tony from England UK
Thanks Tony! Good luck with your new layout!
Nice job buddy
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Nice video! I need to get one of those foam cradles.

Give it a go! Congrats on the new layout building, that’s a huge step! Looking forward to seeing more.
@@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477 Can't wait. Pouring the foundations today and tomorrow.
Great tutorial! The mottled fading effect you achieved with the layers of acrylic washes is very cool.
SUper tutoriao. I like :) Greetings from Belgium
What did you use to make the powders stick so well? When ever I use powers they always brush off and leave not a single trace on the locomotive.

@@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477 ok thanks!
If you weathered peoples models for a side job I would have you weather some of my models ngl.
Send me an email if you are interested and I can put together a quote for custom work!
Nice ,what did you use for the wash to tone done the gray,and was the ratio? water to paint ,thanks

Next video for weathering coal hopper please...

@@unionpacificcascadesubdivi6477 Yes the ballast ones would be great as well. Im modelling modern Australian so we have some different wagons here,...
