I am a lucky one. My prototype railroad keeps engines and rolling stock spotlessly clean, so little to none weathering id required to capture the prototype look. My prototype is a major tourist carrier, hauling herds of tourist from all over the world through breathtaking Swiss Alpine scenery. The only exception to this rule were the ex Furka-Oberalp Railway boxcab electrics of the first generation, which had a rather faded look before they were retired after nearly 60 years of service. Looking at some of the weathering presented here, my answer is yes and no. No for those who are modeling a run-down shortline at the time of the Great Depression or shortly before closure in the 1950´s or 60´s, and a yes for those who model modern day UP, BNSF, NS or CSX, which tend to care more about a "quality" look these days than in the past.
