Easy Weathering for Beginners (No Airbrush): N Scale Diesel Locomotive

How to weather model train locomotive | wethareing without airbrush | weathering with wash and pastel
In this video I showed my techniques of weathering by aging an N Scale diesel locomotive without using airbrush - The locomotive here is an N Scale Baldwin VO-1000 by Atlas Model Railroad Company. Weathering a locomotive is an essential part in Model Railroading towards achieving realism and in this video I show some easy to follow tips and tricks. If used properly these methods can provide excellent results even for a beginner. The items used in this video are very streight forward art supplies which should be available in any art or hobby shop around the world:

Chalk Paint: https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/collec...
Dry pastels: https://www.michaels.com/soft-pastels...
Colored chalk: https://www.cretacolor.com/en/product...

Plus, demineralized water, dish washing soap and a couple of pencils.

I have used a few commercial hobby weathering supplies, namely,

Testors Dullcote Lacquer: https://www.testors.com/product-catal...
Testors weathering stain: https://www.testors.com/product-catal...

however, those can be replaced easily with locally available matte lacquer and homemade wash (the technique of which is described in detail in the video).

In addition, I showed a little clip of disassembling the sideframes of an N Scale locomotive, however, if you wish to see a complete guide, here is the full video:    • Clean and Maintain an N Scale Diesel ...
