If you'd like to see my video on how I laid the ballast in the turnouts while still having them operate well follow the link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9d8iMijrMyrYYk.html

Really beautifully done, and the end result is super-nicely balanced. The little stick-on shrubs make for great highlights amongst the toned down ballast. Poor ALCOs getting a bum wrap again - still going to love my little RS27s 🙂

Looks great Andy, thanks for the detailed tutorial. Will be playing around with this to enhance track in N.

Andy, you have upped your video instructional technique. Identifing the matarials is especially helpful. Great job!

Hi Andy. Thanks again for sharing your work. Indeed, track weathering is pretty much like everything else : It can be endless. I appreciate that you showed us the products you're using and the way it's been done. Simple and effective video. Keep on your good work.

It truly is a labor of love.

@@AndyDorsch Hi again. Thanks for answering. I think I would add some dark green to all the colors you used on track's ties and ballast. But it shows at the end that pretty much everything can go in and the result will be awesome. That part is the artistic one. It's not technical at all except for the process of doing it. That's pretty much less stressful than painting a building, a car or an engine. Thanks again for sharing.

Great job Andy! It is a great way to tone stuff down and make it look more natural. Glad you showed how ties age. They are definitely not all the same.

Thanks Tim! I love how they turned out.

Nice work, Andy, will have to try this on my layout.

Nice job, Andy! So important to "model" the track, not just lay it.

Thanks Paul...Track is a key component to the layout!!!

Andy great video, almost Boomer level 😂. Some great tips and products I can’t wait to try out on my track. Like the sidebars that give specific details on how you’re doing it (ie: 25-35 psi). Good work

Great tips and it looks wonderful but not sure if I could invest 20+ minutes per foot of track on my layout though!

@LogicRailTech 15 күн бұрын

Excellent work Andy! Are you thinning the Tamiya paint when shooting it through the airbrush? If so, their thinner or something else?

@markiewodi3371 15 күн бұрын

This looks fantastic! I just hand built my first turnout and a little track, haven’t gotten to this step any advice with wood ties or ??? Am I behind but what happened to the Marshfield with the awesome crappy track, or am I thinking of someone else?

@franssongs 16 күн бұрын

Nice job. I may have missed it but what size needle are you using in your airbrush? I model n scale and I can’t get to the level of detail you did here but certainly can use many of the techniques
