Greetings- Thanks for the responses to weathering . As far as dirtier by the tracks - I don't know about that . I grew up next to the Wabash R.R. yard over here in northwest Indiana ( southeast of Chicago ) . I still don't remember it looking that bad . When I went to some old family photo's that I inherited from by Father - circa 1940 thru about 1955 ) - I took a special look at the scenery , outbuildings, stores , & residencies ; there did not seem to be the dilapidated structures & neighborhoods that are modeled . This situation seems to be more of a trendy type depiction . CB&Q - I think that we have more of a situation that flee 307 stated . Kinda' like a fashion thing - not necessarily a depiction of truth , or if you will , " The way it was" .
