FINALLY weathered, coal load added, and the rear headlight number panels installed! I always refer to Kelley Morris' classic article in the January/February 1980 issue of the "Gazette", and generally follow the same procedures with a few variations. I use Floquil paint for this work but with a base weathering colour of 60% Grimy Black and 40% Engine Black. And instead of Foundation, I use Freight Car Brown to spray around the drivers. I also augment the painted weathering with Bragdon chalks as a final touch. D&RGW #488 running light, arrives at Sapinero...
Erik,Jim mentions that he follows a weathering article of some ancient magazine:QuoteFINALLY weathered, coal load added, and the rear headlight number panels installed!

No email for Jim on his site.
that looks good but the coal......the coal looks weathered too - shouldn't the coal be black, I mean real black ? how often do they fill up coal ?
I'm going to replace the coal with wood.
