Steve,

Those who like weathering weather the whole engine, those who collect would be "dipped" before they do any such thing! And there are twenty plus variations in between.

BTW those silver trucks in your sig are much too clean![;)][}:)][:D]

I paint the wheel faces black or rust but leave the flanges the bright silver, looks like the real thing, only real lokies I've ever seen with dark flanges were abandoned ones
