Don't go out and buy an airbrush unless you think you can make good use of it, for more things then just weathering stuff. The easiest way and least damaging if you screw up, is to use pastel chalks. Buy colored chalks at a craft store. Get black, gray, white, a rusty color, tans and dirt colors. With a piece of course sand paper and done over a piece of paper to collect the chalk dust, simply sand the chalk. Then take an old model paint brush and pick up some of the dust with the brush and rub randomly on the car or loco. Experiment on a cheap box car to get the feel for what your doing. If you don't like how it turns out, use soapy water to remove the chalk and start over.
