The dislike must have been a hopper car.....

Beautiful job, on your cars. A very long time ago, I worked very briefly for a company that made those replacement hatch covers. Here’s something to think about. They made them out of fiberglass (they switched to aluminum, last I heard) so they won’t rust, and the gel coat is the color you see, and a part of the hatch cover, not just a coating. They will only fade, instead of the weathering we’re used to. Also, something I’ve noticed on railroads that had other color schemes (BNSF was a frequently seen prototype), a car might have two different colored hatch covers on it. I like your techniques, I’ve never been an artist, certainly not enough to try to develop my own technique on a 30 dollar car. Appreciate you sharing your videos.

That car looks like crap and I say that with the highest compliment! You really captured the look of your reference photo!

This car looks amazing, so many fantastic details, the various tones of color on the roof walks, the patching, and the reapplied data with the load weight and weight limits with the white numbers on the black blocks, so many things made this a great prototype to model, and a real test I am sure, and you clearly aced that test! Very nice!

Very nice, I love your rust buckets!!

A work of art! Thanks for sharing Dan.

Man your weathering is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! You couldn't have matched it any better to the Prototype Pic! Its unbelievable how the RUST EFFECT looks so real! Very impressed with your work and I'm going to try this on a couple old cars I have that I don't use anymore. That way if I make a mistake etc I won't feel so bad. Once again thanks for sharing your videos and I'm viewing them from Delmar, Delaware.

love it... nice work

wow.. one of the nicest rust jobs i've seen.

Excellent weathering.

Looks good Dan! Nice effects overall.

Wow awesome job!

Amazing !! With best regards from Russia !!!

Awesome job as always Dan

Great video. Love the techniques that make the rust look like it's run down the car great stuff.👍🚂🇺🇲

Looks fantastic! Great job!

I use my homemade rust for adding to rolling stock. I even use an X-acto (Aproxo) knife to make gouges in the sides and fill up with my rust. Looks real 'cause it's real rust. Cheers from eastern TN

Dan you’re an amazing artist!

Looks like one I saw today, nice job dan.

Great work Dan! Love it!

Unreal man that is fricken awesome

He’s back!

I don't think there is a video I've watched of yours I haven't learn a cool trick. Mad skills! Mad skills!

Just an amazing job! Thanks for sharing your skills.

Very cool. Thanks.

That was amazing!!! I learned so much from this video! thank you so much, incredible work!!!

Dan if you need pictures please let me know. I live real close to where they harvest the salt!

Nice job, excellent weathering

Very nice and are going to buy the rereleased covered hoppers from tangent, still thinking about a GTW or INTX.

Great Great job! Looks awesome and very realistic! You should show them a a diorama, with scenery! They'd look more real yet! :)

Incredible

Another great video I had to see if you uploaded because it’s been awhile and apparently KZfaq unsubscribed me for some reason

Man it's been a long time since I first saw this video I renember seeing it when it came out

Awesome tutorial!!

Outstanding

Wow, Amazing work and you have really inspired me to get working on some of my models!

Bravo!

This is well done

I rally like your videos. They have made me a better observer of prototype rolling stock. I am curious if you are willing to share your vendors for commercial decals. In particular I am looking for “Buffer Service” HO scale decals. Thanks, Kennedy

Great work

Hey great job bro but when will we be able to get a layout update bro

Great Job! when you apply the first layer of oils on top of the acrylic spots, how long do you wait after you applied the oils to begin the streaking with the thinner?

Speaking of salt cars. Whatever those 2 bay cars that Ohio Central gets at Columbus. I've seen them in person. The car body appears to be aluminum? But the rest is steel. They look horrid. Would be a great modeling project if anyone make them in HO scale though. Any plans to do any of the former D&H hoppers?

Yeah I simply don't have this amount of patience.

Can you add in the description the web sites you go to to get these photos to model your cars? Also include the products you use during the instruction.

currently making a "list/scrap-book" of graffiti, by watching railfanning videos, for transfer

How do you avoid leaving finger prints on the model? Does the materials dry fast?

Can you comment on your techniques for stripping cars? Thanks! Love your work!

Can you use a hair drier to accelerate the water based oils drying time?

Well done. Q: What do you use to thin the water-soluble oils?

Looks great, how do you set what you have done? Do you paint with lacquer?

30:15 "This is kind of a good time to put the car aside, sit on it, ..." Instructions unclear, car broken.

@DansRailroad2011 at 14:25 is the thinner you talk about just plain water. Do you put anything in the water? Thanks

Hi

Funny that you do not used any chalks in the body...

You never say what the "thinner" is??????

Shiny rolling stock is lame.....

This is the first one you've done that I dont like. It's just overdone in my opinion. The sides look like they're wooden sides. Needs more variety in the streaking No offense but not to my liking.
