I think this was an Intermountain kit as I bought it awhile back. But I wanted to weather it and show some freight inside with the doors partially open.
To give it an overall "dirty" look I used isopropyl and pastels in a light "wash" with a stiff brush. I included the roof where I added streaks of silver paint to show
where the paint had worn off the roof and also some areas of rust showing. I think it came out good and am pleased with it. But I need to still do the wheels and couplers. I really enjoy weathering and if it's done right, makes the models look real like the prototype.

That is a nice looking, well used and aged, car. Nice work. I am amazed at the weathering talents of people like you.

Thanks Randy. The nice thing about using isopropyl is that you can erase and wash away your errors if you don't like it. But you must be careful
because you can remove the paint if you rub too hard.
