I agree with lvanhen, nice weathering job!!

Do you mind me asking, what technique(s) you used on it?

Thanks,

Joe

I primed the sliver contact strip running along the bottom of each side with Floquil Foundation, then painted it with Floquil Railbox Yellow.  Then added spots of Floquil Roof Brown to simulate old rust/paint chipped off the handrails and here and there.  I removed the street tires and painted them Floquil Weathered Black, brushed them with dark rust weathering powder after they were dry.  Painted the wheel centers and hubs on the rail wheels Platinum Mist, weathered with Rust.  Added weathering powder Rust and Black to ends, couplers.  Painted chassis between wheels black.  Forget what else!

That trackmobile is a very nice looking model, hopefully the next run will have lights installed.
