CNJ831, you are making an important point here. When we view our layouts or are focusing on a single object on it, we do not only have a different viewing angle, but a different perspective due to the miniaturization and a different color perception due to artificial lighting. All objects appear crisp and sharp, as opposed to reality, where objects get blurred and fuzzy in a distance. All of this has to be considered when we select the coloring and weathering. I find that sometimes the prototype´s coloring looks so much different in our train room than outside. In any case - subtleness is the name of the game! Richard - I have to disagree to your point 3 statement. Weathering in most of the times will make bad paint jobs even more apparent.
