Product overview

Trains Undercarriage Weathering Set is a three-jar blister of AK's 35 ml weathering enamels made for the running gear of railway models — the effects most usually seen on the bogies and wheels of trains, as AK puts it. All three jars are enamel products, described by AK as high quality and easy to use. Light Rust Wash handles rust on frames and fittings, Shafts and Bearings Grease gives the oily look of axle boxes and bearings, and Light Dust Deposit settles a dry, dusty film over everything underneath. It is the natural companion to the locomotive and wagon set, which weathers the bodywork above.

Set contains (3 × 35 ml): AK046 Light Rust Wash, AK2032 Shafts and Bearings Grease and AK4062 Light Dust Deposit
All three jars are enamel products — AK's own line is "Contains enamel products of high quality and ease of use."
By name, the trio is a light rust wash, a grease effect for shafts and bearings, and a light dust deposit — the bogie-and-wheel weathering set AK describes
Pairs with AK7000 Trains Locomotive & Wagon Weathering Set for the bodywork above; 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.
