To weather a dark color, you need to use light and dark browns, and medium and light greys. If you model in an area with much red clay then that color should be used as well. Much of your weathering will appear on the trucks and lowest parts of the engine frame. I doubt the fans would show any signs of weathering when the engine is black. One word of caution; it is not too hard to get carried away when weathering as some of my earliest attempts demonstrate. I would definately take it easy when weathering a black engine. <br /> <br />Good Luck. - Ed
