Another flat wagon for the RWLR
Been playing about with this scratch build for a while, however, I wanted to weather the wood so it looked like untreated timber that has been in the elements for years:
No Indian ink or expensive washes used here. Instead, I filled up a small cup of vinegar and then left some wire wool in it over night. Then, in the morning I diluted the solution with water using the same quantity as I had used with the vinegar and then just painted it on.
Cheers,
Tom

I have had the solution going for a few days now and it has not gone green. The wire wool will disintegrate within 24hrs so best to remove it before this happens as I had to sieve the solution it a few times to remove the bits.Mr. Bond of the DVLR:83598 wrote:Did the vinegar go slightly green? I've tried various things for making weathering solutions and it didn't work terribly well for me. Most successful one so far is my Jar of rust. Salt water and wire wool....

Where did you get the brake gear bits/bits on the chassis above the axleboxes/cosmetic brackets connecting bufferbeam to chassis?
Thanks in advance.

IP Engineering make all the cosmetic bits and the axleboxes are from an IP laser cut kit which I have added rivet detail.
I prefer metal axle boxes, however, I thought I might as well build something out of it as I had the bits
Thanks for the pointers on the chain. I have done this now so will paint it all up and post a picture another time.
Cheers,
Tom
