Thanks, Matt! This level of weathering certainly isn't applicable to all railroads and times we model, but it does suit for my purposes.
I finally finished installing the painted handrails on all three units, but they also need to be weathered. I also had to retouch some gray paint on the fuel tank of the C628 (hence the bright patches on it). Here's a shot of all three before dulling and decrepitalizing... which shouldn't take me too long to do. I still need to rust up and install the couplers as well, but we're certainly in the home stretch on this project (thank goodness....)
