There has been a couple threads lately on how to darken the driving rods, but I'm not finding them and I want to ask for a step by step explanation. Seems that there is possibly two or three different products that work? How is it done so that none of the chemical gets into the pivot points? How is it applied?
Also, when a steam engine is weathered, with an airbrush, how is this done without getting paint into the joints of all the driving gear and still get that uniform look when finished? Does the engine have to be taken apart? Please don't tell me the engine has to be torn down. Thanks for any and all suggestions-----John R
