Poor man’s M10000

I got the Windows HD movie maker pro editor and took some pictures and a video with the new GoPro hero 8 and stumbled through a video. My first effort and a edited video?

It came out OK?
Maybe speed up the beginning showing before and after? And add your voice explaining instead of the words?
Those trains really rocket around your table !
How did you tackle the rust decay on the cars?

[pjdog350]

And blasted cars first. Then wire wheel. Then soaked in white vinegar. All these remove rust.

Mr Dog, your streamliners look great flying around the layout.

OK, but it must have had some pitting? The one car looks like it had it?
If so, how did you handle the pitting before painting?

[pjdog350]

You are right. One cars frame has pitting at the back on both sides. After sand blasting and the wire wheel I put them in white vinegar for 4 hours. That removed all the rust you eye can see. I then primed the frames twice. Then painted. The one frame does show pitting.

I’m happy with it. So what! One car has some pitting on the frame. That’s pretty good for a five car set. These are not going to a museum, they are going to live on my garage layout. If the pitting is still a problem I’ll run it faster to blur the sight of the sweet thing on it’s way by.

I did think of some Bondo filler but WTH.

OK, I was talking about the car body, I thought it might have had some pitting to the metal.
Like my 616 Flying Yankee locomotive.

 I tried to add a picture to show you but it is too large.
Can't mess with it right now, got to run.

Looking forward to the Yankee picture. I’d like to have one.

If I have pitting in the car body I didn’t know it?
