- Hello Model Railroaders!
In this video I show you some basic techniques on how to weather your track work and add details that bring your model railroad to life! The tools, materials and techniques can also be applied to other areas of model railroading such as scenery, structures, rolling stock and locomotives!

If you'd like to see my video on how I laid the ballast in the turnouts while still having them operate well follow the link here: czcams.com/video/iqLUerGfG1U/video.html
I find that going through to highlight ties (both darker and lighter) before ballasting is much easier. A brush and thin wash (over a base of camouflage brown) works well. To avoid patterns, I print out a list of prime numbers and use them to skip randomly. Love your channel - thanks for the tips.
Those are some real nice looking boxcars!!
Great video!! Thanks, Andy!!🍻
Great video full of useful tips for the model maker, regardless of their chosen sector. Many thanks for doing this :)
Looks awesome Andy. Glad to see you still model in the summer. 😉
Oh yes. I love to work on my hobby all the time...at least a few hours a day.
Really beautifully done, and the end result is super-nicely balanced. The little stick-on shrubs make for great highlights amongst the toned down ballast. Poor ALCOs getting a bum wrap again - still going to love my little RS27s 🙂
Looks great Andy, thanks for the detailed tutorial. Will be playing around with this to enhance track in N.
hey Andy, nice video, good to see how you weather your track and ballast. Thanks, Terry
Excellent video!
Nice work, Andy, will have to try this on my layout.
Great video Andy! Definitely going to try some of these techniques.
They are simple to apply let me know how they turn out.
Great video Andy!
Thank you!
Nice detail.
Looks great, Andy! Very realistic.
Thanks for tuning in.
Andy freaking awesome
Thank you very much for watching.
XF-52. My favourite colour 😇
Its so good!
Andy, you have upped your video instructional technique. Identifing the matarials is especially helpful. Great job!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice job, Andy! So important to "model" the track, not just lay it.
Thanks Paul...Track is a key component to the layout!!!
Great job Andy! It is a great way to tone stuff down and make it look more natural. Glad you showed how ties age. They are definitely not all the same.
Thanks Tim! I love how they turned out.
Saved to my "how-to" playlist...thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! I hope the tips are helpful!
@@AndyDorsch I always appreciate different methods of doing things like this.
Andy great video, almost Boomer level 😂. Some great tips and products I can’t wait to try out on my track. Like the sidebars that give specific details on how you’re doing it (ie: 25-35 psi). Good work
Hi Andy. Thanks again for sharing your work. Indeed, track weathering is pretty much like everything else : It can be endless. I appreciate that you showed us the products you're using and the way it's been done. Simple and effective video. Keep on your good work.
It truly is a labor of love.
@@AndyDorsch Hi again. Thanks for answering. I think I would add some dark green to all the colors you used on track's ties and ballast. But it shows at the end that pretty much everything can go in and the result will be awesome. That part is the artistic one. It's not technical at all except for the process of doing it. That's pretty much less stressful than painting a building, a car or an engine. Thanks again for sharing.
That looks BRILLIANT!!!! 😳
Thank you!
Great tips and it looks wonderful but not sure if I could invest 20+ minutes per foot of track on my layout though!
Excellent work Andy! Are you thinning the Tamiya paint when shooting it through the airbrush? If so, their thinner or something else?
This looks fantastic! I just hand built my first turnout and a little track, haven’t gotten to this step any advice with wood ties or ???
Am I behind but what happened to the Marshfield with the awesome crappy track, or am I thinking of someone else?
Nice job. I may have missed it but what size needle are you using in your airbrush? I model n scale and I can’t get to the level of detail you did here but certainly can use many of the techniques
Looks great, just not for me.
Thanks for watching!
