What about weathering Passenger Coaches?

In this video we´re looking at weathering (patina) options to even further enhance the realism of the passenger coaches. There is a fine balance between ruining and enhancing when it comes to ageing of passenger cars/coaches.

Federico Di Liberto good comment. About five years ago we went on the VSOE to Venice. In most countries it was pulled by a clean loco...until we got to Italy. There they attached the most disgustingly filthy loco I have seen, hardly appropriate for a prestige train. Slovenly.

Some fifty plus years ago I went to grad school in upstate NY riding frequently on the Erie Phoebe Snow, it would leave Hoboken pristine clean but by the time it reach Binghamton, NY in winter it need another wash, I remember those rides till this day and wish I could repeat them.

I have been modeling military stuff for over 40 years. Weathering is part of the build. Now I agree that a train car is not military stuff, how ever, it is outside, exposed to soot, dirt, rain, etc. I love watching videos of amazing train dioramas. It saddens me to see ALL the cars, including locomotives, clean as a whistle. I worked for a few years in a switch yard. Please believe me when I say, NOT ONE car, locomotive, flat car, tanker etc is clean. NONE! They all are dirty. We would see a locomotive coming out of the "brickhouse" (the garage) all fixed up and clean, and by the time it was hooked up and ready to go, next morning, it was already showing sings of soot, and dust, especially on the light colored locos, like Union Pacific's. So I am of the camp that says "Weather". Now it doesn't have to be extreme. But it does have to show some dirt, dust, oil grime around the wheels, bogies etc. One thing I rarely see, are graffitis. Just park yourself next to a rail road, and count how many cars have graffitis on them. I would say at least 30 to 40%. Yet, in most dioramas we do not see this. I can understand the reluctance to paint and "dirty" a perfectly good car, but if one wants to be as accurate as can be, well graffitis are part of train life. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and talent. These are always very, very interesting videos to watch.

Bogies... got it! Always knew them as trucks locally (Reading RR) Couple of very active lines nearby, and some with architectural aging and weathering, interesting to see where rust, grime, and streaking occur. The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad, (yes, that is one name) is close by us, for reference. The Reading Railroad Heritage Museum is right here in our town, and there are many highly weathered cars sitting on tracks behind it. Like a graveyard of sorts. Haha, I am not finished, a place called Roadside America is just a few miles away. Been going there for over 60 years. BTW, you do fantastic work!

Hi, I just wanted to say, that I really enjoyed your videos over the last days. I'm pretty new to this and don't have a train (yet?), but just started building miniature buildings. Now I'm so inspired to make a full diorama with landscape and everything. What I've seen, but don't understand is, how you can place figures into the H0 trains? Could it be possible to add that topic to your list - only if you want to. And also I would be very much interested in lighting. It was very impressive, how you've put the tiny led into your builds. Coming from the artsy side of the internet: you could use Burnt Sienna for rust, I find it looks very close to a rust colour. Other than that: Thank you for your wonderful videos and content!

Hi marklin, I would totally appreciate you doing a video on couplings! I got into modell railroading a year ago and have a wild collection of various cars from Roco, Piko and Märklin, all with different couplings. Next year I want to standardize them but I'm unsure which one would be best (I mostly do shunting ops with H0 Märklin gear). Your thoughts on this issue would be fantastic!

Märklin wagons are designed for the Märklin 3-rail system. You won't be able to run them on your 2-rail system layout, because the will be a short-circuit.

You can source model graffiti transfers/stickers online or have a go yourself with a airbrush and possibly artists pencils (i have not tried this yet as it seems very delicate and you would really need to practice your technique a lot ! )

@pwissink1 4 жыл бұрын

first question with pop's up: what compressor and airbrush you need? How to start and maybe advice?

@jpsholland 4 жыл бұрын

Google for Iwata, Japanese brand, very good, also the affordable models. Dont go for brand "X" which is "made somewhere" and available at the 1 dollar DIY shop or other cheap stuff stores. You will regret it in a few days. Harder & Steenbeck or Paasche. But this are the more expansive and professional brands. Neo is also very good first time model, it is made by Iwata. Compressors, again Iwata or Werther are the best affordable brands. Of coarse you can go into the thousands if you want. But in the tens is the other way and often not that good if it can be called good at all. I have used a Werther TC-108 compressor with 3 different older models of Paasche and a Neo (by Iwata) You need a good cleaning fluid, dont cut in expenses on that, if your airbrush gets clogged up it is very hard to get it going again. If you can get it going at all. Furthermore a special bowl to clean the brush during the job. (i dont know the english name) A air cleaner/ filter is also a good idea, it gives some extra grip on the brushes. Rather not use curled/spiral hoses, they are annoying and soon the curls are, well maybe you remember the good old wired telephone.... Just straight hoses with quick couplers. Take note that the learning curve of this is very steep. Thats why i sold my set after just a few weeks. I feel more comfortable with brush, dry brush and chalk techniques. For me airbrushing was a step to high and it felt like i spend more time cleaning the darn thing then actually painting with it.

@aram5642 3 жыл бұрын

Those cars are still way too shiny and brand-new looking ;) But of course the perception all depends on the country you live in ;) Sometimes the premium fare trains don't look even close to that. Regardless, i woukd say a lot of roofs suffer from rusty smudges and rain damage. Also, low fare trains usually go out to service with graffiti on them.

@ronaldvanpinxteren3644 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Martin, is there a reason why you use the model colours and dilute them insteas of using the air brush colours? The result by the way is very nice and not overdone.

@marklinofsweden 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Ronald! Thank you! Yes, I use these colors as often with paintbrush, as I use them with the airbrush. Thinning is not a problem, so I find it more practical to buy them un-thinned

A lot depends on the type of service. Urban commuter service coaches are going to be a lot more weathered than premium service. A lot also depends on the era being modeled. Anything in the steam era behind coal burning locomotives are going to be dirty. There is no way around it

@williambryant5946 4 жыл бұрын

Most railroads in the steam era had wash stations for there equipment and tried to keep them clean as possible. The roofs may have be dirtier from cinders but it wasn't that bad. 👍

@mpetersen6 4 жыл бұрын

@@williambryant5946 Yes, I know they did but any long distance passenger train arriving at its destination is going to be dirtier than equipment going out. A lot would also depend on the economy of the time. Let's say a modeler has a layout in the 1930s. It's the Depression. Money is tight. Railroads have to cut costs where possible. That's one place it could be done. A layout set in WWII. Railroads are stretched tight as Dick's hatband. Passenger miles are likely as high as they have ever been. Most of the traffic is troop trains. At least long distance ones are. Even as you say a lot is going to depend on the carrier. The Pennsy or New York Central or New Haven on the east coast are likely to be cleaner than the smaller carriers.

Hello Martin! By the way.... the coaches are from roco, aren't they? I've made bad experience with the Märklin short couplers with non Märklin cars because the bumpers are a bit lower witch results in derailments. I prefer the (compatible) universal couplers from roco. Greetings, A

@marklinofsweden 4 жыл бұрын

True! Roco buffers has to be removed with Märklin short couplings. From what I head the best coupling in the market is Fleischmann profi. For me I can’t afford a total change now..

If you want a cheap solution, you can remove one clutch bracket from Märklin short couplers. Works, but of course you can't mix cars free afterwards.

@DB--lv6tt 4 жыл бұрын

Fleischmann Profi ist not the best coupler. It has advantages, but also disadvantages. They can uncouple if gradient changes. They don't couple with ease, you can push away cars without getting connected. But you can lift cars without decoupling..,
