Weathering a Rock Island Locomotive

In the second of the two free commissions that were part of my 1,000 Subscriber giveaway, I had the opportunity to weather a locomotive. A Rock Island SD40-2 gets some heavy grime streaking as part of its signature look.

Grex Genesis XGi3 Airbrush Starter Set https://amzn.to/2E6l1pg
(Dual-action Gravity Feed airbrush, compressor, braided 6ft hose, and a getting started DVD)
This is an updated version of the combo set that I started with. The advantage of this newer version is that if you wanted to swap out needle sizes, it can be done with upgrade kits, and it comes with different sizes of paint cups. It comes with a 0.3mm needle as standard. This also comes with the same compressor that you saw in the video. I’ve been very happy with my setup. It has done everything I’ve asked it to. Fittings on this airbrush and hose are ⅛” which are compatible with Iwata hoses.
