- This next weathering how to will cover some of my techniques for weathering a dirty, beat up, UP patched gondola. In the past we have covered techniques for lightly weathering rolling stock, but this video will cover all my techniques for creating grungy, nasty looking heavy grime affects.

For trucks, wheels, freight car bodies and locos to add rust I use REAL rust. I take a roll of fine steel wool and put it into a quart jar and fill it up with white vinegar and set it on a window sill so the sun can shine on it. After a month or two, I pour the liquid out into a stainless photo tray from my darkroom (10X14). After it is completely dry I use a single edged razor blade scraper and scrape the rust out of the tray. It usually comes out as a fine powder. I then store it in a snuff container. Depending on how long you leave the steel wool in the vinegar my batches come out with different colors of rust, i.e., some are orange and others are a deeper colored red. When I get ready to use it I put several scoops of my rust into a plastic communion cup (neat little cups for mixing paints) and add some alcohol, Elemer's white glue and a dab of water soluble glycerin. Then I just brush it on. If I want an area where the rust has eaten through the metal (plastic) I use my X-acto knife and make some gouges in the sides of a car and fill it up with my rust. To seal the rust I usually topcoat it with a flat acrylic clear coat. It looks very realistic 'cause it is REAL rust! Happy Railroading!

Good job Dan, you've got a great eye and an outstanding gift for capturing reality.
Well Done
Awesome work
How does this young man only have 7k subs and not 100k?
Great video ! Very nice job ! Thanks very much for sharing and keep up the good work !
You should be on the Whats neat this month show with Ken Paterson !
Ken wake up !!! and invite this talented modeler on the show !!!
Cheers from Europe ! Martin
Excellent job !
Graffitied in the train yard, really moving.
Excellent, professional narration and masterful weathering.*****
Dan, great job, thanks so much for sharing, always look forward to your videos
Sweeeet! well done. The secret is out, you're actually a reformed tagger!! LOL nice video.
The weird thing is, he was painting HO-scale graffiti on real cars!
Your techniques for the truck and wheel weathering are fantastic and I'll be using those from now on. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I really enjoy your work Dan, thanks for sharing
Extremely nice weathering, job well done sir! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Dan, as always we appreciate you sharing your weathering techniques with us modelers. Your videos are informative and fun to watch. Thanks again for the great video's and making us all better in the model rr weathering world 👍.
Yours is the best weathering video I've seen, many thanks for sharing your ideas
Interesting ideas and techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding job Dan......thanks for sharing your techniques. Awesome skills
Man these look great. I've switched hundreds of these old Mo-Pac gondolas and they're all fairly consistent as far as how rough they look. The paint held up relatively well for the 30+ year old paint most of them have, but it's scratched, dented, dirty like you captured here. The insides of some gons look almost like Swiss cheese, but for some reason this group held up OK on the sides and have that constant fresh rust color. Next thing to try is getting them to smell bad. Usually they have a little nasty muddy "stank water" in the bottom of them that smells to high hell. That would be some prototype modeling right there!
flawless video great job!!
great job, looks awesome!!
wow fantastic great job looks real
I used the same kind of acrylic paint. Nicely done.
your skills at weathering is the best I've seen ,I wish you could whether some car's for me
Absolutely outstanding!!! You just got another subscriber!!!
beautiful job man!!
DansRailroad2011 You do some awesome weathering nice Job. I weathered A Norfolk Southern ET44AC From Scale Trains Rivet Counter HO scale this was my first attempt at doing this It turned out pretty nice still have to do the fuel tanks with the fuel ran down the sides and some oil spills.
You certainly have some very interesting videos I watch them so That I can learn from you more ways to do weathering. Have a good evening. 👍
wow good job!!! very realistic. i'm going to try this here to and hope for the best lol
Dan, great video!!
Fantastic job man!! I stumbled upon your videos and now I'm hooked! I'm going to try to weather a similar type of gondola I have. doubt that it'll come up like yours though... :-( really really good!! and the various explanations and camera work top notch man! thanks for sharing.
Nice job..... Very inspiring....

Just Watched a lot of your videos you do some great stuff and great videos. Great job man
great techniques
omg, this was 6rs ago? Wow... I got back into the Hobby in 2017(posted on my own CZcams Channel)
This is fantastic video! Are you still in the Hobby in 2023 with other cool videos?
great work!
Pretty Nice.
Amazing!
You do great work Dan, can I make a suggestion thou? Try having the camera on the left side. As your right handed the camera angle is blocked and hard to see what is happening at the that time.
Excellent job and has given me new techniques. One question, I lived near the Bethlehem Steel Corp in Johnstown PA and saw many old gondolas but most had tons of body damage not just dust and rust. How do you create that? Thanks
Just catching up on more of your fantastic artistry. This one was great. Would like to know if you would clear cote the car for a final finish. If not is there a concern that the powders come off during operation or handling. Again, a great video and finished model. Great thanks. 🚂
Excellent
This is really cool. I don't know anything, but just a little tiny bit too much metal.
Nice
Hey Dan, have any tips for intermodal well cars or piggyback cars. I know you don't do those but always a chance a modeler can help another modeler.........thanks and as always great work!!!!!
at first I thought waste of time and paint. BUT the proof is in the results. Nice job. You do a very informative job how ever hands in front of camera is extremely annoying . Getting the hand out of the way would improve result of video a whole lot.
Hi Dan. How dis you weather the trucks for this car? I couldn’t find a prior reference for the techniques for the trucks. Great video!
Dan, where you buy yours Anitta's Acrlyric paints, and which colors set do you recommend to me to start ?
I see alot of gondolas with dented, bent and beat up sides but I never see anybody model them that way. I would think with a little heat a person could soften the plastic up enough to dent and bend it. Have you ever experimented with anything like this?
Great Video Dan and very informative. Good timing as I have a few gons that I want to do the same too. Nice t shirt. I did like the back to the future movies. Are you or have you done a video on coal hoppers?
I have no vids on coal hoppers because I don't model a coal train currently, but basically, the techniques would be for light weathering on the cars.
Hi, wonderfull work! So nice! Question, what brand is the góndola moldel? It has a lot of detail! thank you very much! Regard from Arg.
ExactRail. They make excellent freight cars. exactrail.com
how do you remove acrylic paint from am airbrush (that usually dries immediately) with isopropyl alcohol? I thought you need acrylic paint thinner fro acrylic paints?
Very nice weathering job, but just one note, you changed the road number on the side, but the old numbers are still on the ends. Shouldn't you have changed or painted over the numbers??
You could also heat the sides and add some dents. Very well done.
I've done this to a lot of my gondolas. You can use a Bic lighter and heat a flat head screwdriver to do this effect as well. Some types of plastic get almost too pliable and start to warp more than you want it. There's definitely a technique to heating the plastic itself without giving it too much.
Can you do the logo fading on an autorack?
Where do you get the reflector stock? Thank you for sharing.
That is done with Western Safety brand reflective tape. Rolls can be found at Harbor Freight tools.
what was the consistency of the paint you used to fade down the "shield logo"
It is just a simple thin wash of acrylic for the blue, and a heavy two coat layer to cover the red striping.
Is there a faster or more efficient way to clean your airbrush that you have found? Always love weathering my cars with it but dread cleaning the airbrush with the paint inside. Thanks,
-Josh RSP
Not really, I also use an airbrush extensively, and yea it takes a long time to clean. However if you skip cleaning you WILL clog your brush.
+Jackson Railfan yup, I've learned that the hard way
I just blow some alcohol through it during a project. When I'm done, I break it down.
Did the UP shield come on the car I'm only able to find it with the screaming eagle
Yes, this car came with the UP shield. It is available in a few places still, including on eBay.
Great job, but why would the car get patched for MP?
???? Because it's an MP?
Where did you get the metal scrap from?
I forget the maker, but it is simply aluminum shavings.
How can anyone not like this?
Because people get jealous or just like to be douchbags in this hobby, and it's important to ignore the butthurt. ; )
Why dont you use just weathering powder. Why the chalk?
where do you get your scrap metal
Certain companies make scrap material and custom drop in loads, but this material is custom made by Region Rat custom loads.
Sh** look DOPE dude.... scrap metal looks like glitter though... 😕
Fresh scrap aluminum looks just like that from what I have seen.
What scale is this brother
HO scale
could you weather some of my cars?
How about some dents. or holes in the sides.
And you play drums too?!?
Fresh rust....ooookay.
good job . just yakk less dude
That was a key problem in my older videos.
