Beautiful job again Dave, love the subtle weathering effects. You are a master at this!
Thanks Richard…!
Photos help looking at your work for sure….
On this one I never noticed the horizontal wash line on the last right section of the 3800 cu ft hopper…til now
I will have to do something about that… maybe some scratches or a patch
It’s all about the learning process…

Here is a Walthers Mainline car that I picked up a couple years ago from Midwest Model Railroad…
Tried some to replicate some flaked and bubbled paint on the logo along with a light fade and a moderate amount of grime…

your techniques to my own rolling stock!

What a huge difference a small amount of weathering can do to bring realism to a model. Excellent as usual Dave. It goes from looking bright and toy like to realistically grungy.

Struggled a bit with this Intermountain Prairie Shadows Ex-Rio Grande patched RVPR hopper…
Fade then thinned oils…Turpenoid dissolved the glue holding on the roof…so that had to be re-attached with Crazy Glue then reinforced the interior seam thru the open roof hatch with Gorilla Glue…
Still have to add some kick up grime around the wheels…
