I recently weathered my On30 Climax using Bragdon weathering chalks for the first time, and I've been really pleased with the results: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/railfan/Climax.jpg[/IMG] (If you click on the photo, you can see a larger version) I have a set of four chalks in one box - Soot, Light, Medium and Dark Rust. These chalks have a fine adhesive built in, and rubbing the chalk sets it, sealing it to the model. While a little bit can come off with handling, it isn't as severe as plain chalks. They do not require to be coated with Dullcoat, which usually diminishes the dulling effect of chalks. I rubbed most of the black areas on the model with Soot, which took the sheen off and gave it a flat dark gray look. Then I used mostly the darker Rust colors to represent road dust and dirt here and there. The frame and trucks were rubbed with the dark rust to lighten them up, being in the shadows. This chalk kit was one of the best $10.00 I have spent in the hobby! Bob Boudreau
