In this video I show you one method for how to decal and weather model railroad freight cars. I make custom graffiti decals and use grime and rust streaks to weather two covered hoppers.

Watched both videos. Ron's had the best weathering. Eric used a techique I had not thought of previously. Wrap the entire side of the car. Love them both.

Wow. A whole lotta work just for one car! Weathering seems like a very difficult and time consuming project! The cars turned out great!

@RonsTrainsNThings 4 жыл бұрын

Difficulty of weathering depends on what effect you are trying to simulate. For me, I don't weather every car to the same extent. That wouldn't be prototypical anyway. Most of the cars on my layout get a light spray of a fade coat or dullcoat, a bit of rust on the wheels and trucks, and they hit the layout. I refer to this as fleet weathering. A handful of nicely weathered older, rusty, grimy cars scattered over the layout keep things interesting to look at, so a few get this kind of treatment.

While I'm against the placement of graffiti (especially on freight cars), I have to admit that it's quite colorful and oddly satisfying to look at.

Hi Ron, I love this channel so much. Random question for you - how do you do your turnouts? Are they manual or do you have switch machines under the layout? I'm planning out a yard right now and about to purchase the track. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid the Atlas turnouts with switches mounted to them, as to me that really ruins the look of the layout, especially at N scale. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Yes they do. There are a few vendors who make extensive lines of graffiti decals, and I know a few artistic types who do their own with fine paint pens.

Hello Ron. I am just starting out and want to know what is the purpose of using form board on the layout and why so thick?

@RonsTrainsNThings 4 жыл бұрын

The foam allows you to carve contours in the scenery below track level in a way that is difficult or impossible when laying track directly on plywood. It gives you greater flexibility in your scenery options.

Hey Ron I got back into model railroading I am 19 now and the last time I worked on my scenic ridge layout was when I was 13. I cleaned all of the atlas track and it still never works right. What kind of track do you use on your layout because I’m looking to expand mine. And I don’t mind switching from atlas.

I use Peco track because it is rock solid and super reliable.
