One thing you can do is look at the real rolling stock, take pictures, and try doing it. The proto types even screw things up with paint jobs. Locomotives painted by different shops will have different lettering type or something will be different. I have seen Union Pacifc locos from orange to a pink colors. rolling stock will have patched lettering or a real dirty car will have the clean spots on it with new paint and markings. If the cars are mostly wood then you can fade it with paint. Kalmbach has a book on Painting and weathering rolling stock and it covers quite a bit of subjects to weather.
