SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS AD FOR JUST A FEW OF THE HUNDREDS OF GREAT REVIEWS RECEIVED SENT IN BY HAPPY, SATISFIED BUYERS OF THIS 2 DISK SET.
No matter how nice your layout is, no matter how well they run, if your locomotives look like you just took them out of the box then they will look like toys.
For absolute realism, your locomotives need to be realistically weathered.
You may think this is a video with some old guy lecturing you on weathering models but it is NOT.
Nope, on this 2 disk set, over 3 hours long, you will be looking right over the shoulder of professional artist and model railroader, Darryl Huffman, as he shows you step-by-step exactly how to weather a total of 4 different steam locomotives with different techniques shown on each one.
This brand new release is over 3 hours long and comes on 2 DVDs.
Follow along as 4 steam locomotives are weathered using a variety of materials and techniques. Each step is carefully filmed in extreme close-ups using the latest in digital equipment and then transferred directly from the masters to each DVD for the highest quality production.
While I do use an airbrush in one segment as I apply an overall subtle weathering coat to the locomotive, I did not use an airbrush in any other part of the 4 demonstrations.
Many people do not own an airbrush and a compressor. Plus many people have problems with their breathing so I felt a DVD which relied on methods which do not use an airbrush was needed. Here I have used both acrylics and enamels based paints plus weathering powders in almost all the sequences.
Another important feature for the beginner is the fact that none of the 4 demonstrations require the modeler to disassemble any portion of the locomotive.
There are two demonstrations using HO scale locomotives and two featuring On30 locomotives. All methods and materials are clearly explained and color close-ups of different prototype locomotives are shown for examples.
Commonly available paints and materials are used throughout
all four demonstrations.
Shipping to anywhere in the USA is$3.
Postage to all other counties is at the cost of postage.

Jack Matson wrote: I finally got around to sitting down and watching your latest DVD on weathering locomotives. It was very well done and answered a lot of questions that I have had on doing something like this. The only thing is that you make it look easy like the backgrounds DVD too but I know that it won\'t be that easy for me to accomplish.
Bob Santos wrote: Well, I\'ve made it through you twoDVDs on weatheringlocos and all I can say is that you have another hit!! Well done as usual. I love the effect you get with the multicolor washes and I have just dug out an old loco to try it on (I have to do a bit of work on the loco first).
Bob Proctor wrote: The DVDs arrived in good shape. Your techniques are just what I\'mlooking for -- I\'ve always felt the combination of hand-painting, followed bychalks and then gingerly misting on Dulcote gave me the best control over the effects. You\'ve given me just the update I needed, the new weathering chalks look fantastic and seem much less \"fussy\" than chalk+dulcote. I\'ll be ordering some right away.

Dave Montgomery wrote: Thanks for the opportunity to view your dvd\'s. I have done a fair amount of steam weathering myself so a lotof this is not unfamiliar. I haven\'t used testors enamel before and am looking forward to using your techniques on my latest steam purchase. I can\'t wait to try out the testors \"steel\" on a smokestack. It looks so real.
Martin Rosenfield wrote: I just spent an enjoyable four hours (over two days) with Darryl Huffman
as he weathered four steam locomotives. Actually, I watched Darryl\'s new
two DVD set in which he weathers the locos and explains in his easy
going, folksy way, what he is doing and why. I was very pleased that
this set of disks dealt with weathering steam locos because that is the
only kind I run.I like Darryl\'s common sense approach to this daunting task,at least
daunting to a neophyte like me. I already have all the stuff I will need
to follow Darryl\'s instructions because does not use exotic tools or
methods. In fact, most of his weathering is done with a brush. He shows
how to use cans of spray paint from the hardware store and a simple use
of an air brush, but this is not a treatise on spray painting.Darryl shows how to weather a locomotive in pretty much the same way
that it happens in nature. He is not dogmatic in his approach and keeps
mentioning how individuals might want to vary the techniques to fit
their personal tastes.When I first thought of painting a brass model from scratch, I remember
reading that Darryl did all of his locomotive painting with a brush. (I
suspect today that he might put the first coat on from a spray can.) The
videos showed how dabbing with a brush and adding some weathering
powders (Bragdon\'s, Dr. Ben\'s) or pastel chalks can turn a store bought
locomotive into a personal masterpiece with personality.There is a bit more to the videos in which Darryl shows the use of other
items commonly used in model railroading. He mentions brand names and
certain types of paint, but adds that others might work as well. Darryl
is an expert modeler and has experience in a great many aspects of model
railroading. His approach is that of a mentor helping a friend get
started in weathering. This is an excellent presentation of weathering
model steam locomotives.
