The Bragdon Enterprises powders mentioned really work well, especially on the very slippery delrin plastic used on most trucks. It sticks to this plastic better than paint! I also use coal and graphite to simulate the soot given off by the coal-burning steamers. <br />I use an airbrush for streaks on the ends of the cars that is thrown up by the wheels of the car coupled to it. An eyedropper with a very diluted color can be used to apply spilled liquid around manways of tank cars and fuel fillers on locomotives.
