Rio Grande diesels are dusty from the surrounding Rocky Mountain scenery.

I used light tan color with my air brush. The trucks, tanks, etc. Also from mountain running, the dynamic break fan areas get rusted. Because it burns off the paint from the heat. I used rust weathering powders there.

Here's my SD45

Protype photo I was referencing.
