Well, you have certainly created a look that is uniquely yours. You won't be seeing many engines weathered like that on other layouts.

I try to keep the weathering of locos a low key affair. This is an exception. Some rust paint for the trucks and some alcohol with a little black leather dye goes a long way.

Packer, hum, what was the look you where looking for? Boy this is going to sound mean! But I cannot help my self! Was the toilet paper new or used?
Devil made me do it, just took my finguers over.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

Try Lance Mindheims "Voodoo & Palmettos" website for pictures and procedures for weathering. Check under the FAQS section and definately look at the model railroad photos.

Hey, I was just wondering what you guys did to weather your diesel engines. Specifically, I'm hung up over weathering the body behind the handrails. i've got a bunch of engines that have the handrails already glued on, and I don't feel like cutting them off and then trying to re-affix them.
Do you think any spray cans would be able to be used? I don't have an airbrush, nor do i plan on getting one anytime soon; its not one of my priorities due to monetary restrictions (unless someone wants to... 'donate' one, lol)
but yeah; i want to get the shell body evenly weathered but those darn handrails are in the way....
