The chalk markings are destination codes put on in Marshalling yards/exchange sidings so wagons and vans can be shunted into correct positions on multi drop/mixed freight/local goods trains
Looks fantastic, as always, Dave!
Thank you. In some ways it’s easier when you can weather ‘freestyle’ but then again having a picture to work to means I have to think less.
A hard straight edge on a mineral wagon could represent an area that was repanalled.
Yea quite right. I’ve done that many times but the reference for this looks like the data panel area was just painted in bauxite. If I was working from scratch I would have painted the new panels in, and then added the data and text, it that wasn’t possible on this one
Thanks for watching, and thank you for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated
Dave
Looks so real! This weathering subject is definitely an interesting art.Plus subjected to how old the wagon is in the modelled time scale.Brilliant video. 👍
Awesome work as always. Your weathering videos have come in handy for me.
Really useful video. Thanks for sharing.
can you please advise the tiny white stick you use for the chalk markings.
Thanks again and look forward to more from you
Thank you
This is the pencil that I use for the white markings. Make sure the paint is fully dry first otherwise it’ll just scratch it off 🥴
