Product overview

Trains Locomotive & Wagon Weathering Set is a three-jar blister of AK's 35 ml weathering enamels for railway modelling, chosen for the most typical effects seen on locomotives and wagons — AK's own description. All three jars are enamel products, which AK describes as high quality and easy to use. Two are streaking effects: Streaking Grime for general grime and Rust Streaks for rust running down bodywork. The third is a Neutral Grey Wash. Together they weather the bodywork of locomotives and wagons, and they pair naturally with the undercarriage set for the bogies and wheels below.

Set contains (3 × 35 ml): AK012 Streaking Grime, AK013 Rust Streaks and AK677 Neutral Grey Wash
All three jars are enamel products — AK's own line is "Contains enamel products of high quality and ease of use."
Two jars are streaking effects (Streaking Grime, Rust Streaks); the third is a neutral grey wash for general toning
Pairs with AK7010 Trains Undercarriage Weathering Set, which covers the bogies and wheels; all three jars are stocked by us separately as singles

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
