Warbonnet Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Happy Friday everyone! We're thinking of doing a series of 'how to' videos around railway modelling in the coming weeks and months. What would you like to see us tackle? DCC operation? Ballasting? Kit building? Weathering and painting? Let us know by commenting below!

NIRCLASS80 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would love to see a video on weathering the ballast wagons to the effect of the ones shown on your website/Facebook account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJR Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Would love to see some tips ect. on weathering and painting and kit building Thanks Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richrua Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 General painting and weathering skills would be great. Good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 All aspects of wiring layouts including bus wires, dropper wires and how they are connected and fed to the controller and switches such as DPDT etc. Another issues could be the cutting and shaping of plastic sheeting and the tools used. Particularly how is the plastic cut straight and how are openings for doors /windows made and kept straight. MikeO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave182 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes I would second MikeO. Working with styrene and tools involved. Setting up your workspace, replicating shapes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Great idea. Few suggestions to add to those already made. How to solder etched brass kits (e.g. SSM brake van) How to use a lining pen How to drive and shunt freight formations prototypically How to install DCC lights in diesel loco kits (e.g. SF, SSM resin kits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks for your suggestions men! Some nice, diverse topics there. Please feel free to keep the suggestions coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRi1959 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 For me it has to be soldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 One thing I am completely in the dark about is how to service a loco, whether that be a new DCC model or the old ringfield and pancake motors of yesteryear. That would be extremely useful. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayec Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi Tony Refer here for my soldering tips http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3869-Soldering-Tips-by-murrayec?p=59978&viewfull=1#post59978 also take a look at my workbench projects- mainly the stuff on the flying scot which has a huge amount of soldering technique shown. Doing a video on soldering would take years!! Eoin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
