CF7 Roof Weathering

[Paulman]

Thanks Fellas. Kurt, you really hit the jackpot as it's a Florida Central loco I am weathering.

I pass by Plymouth every day going to work, and I notice that FCEN locomotives cycle through gradually blackening along the tops until they are quite dark, then suddenly being clean again so the cycle repeats. I like the well-used look captured in the photos Kurt posted, but you can weather with a lighter hand if you prefer. I believe the Orlando operation is down to one CF7, FCEN 48. At least, that's all I ever see in the area.

Please post your project when it's finished. Are you modeling a spark arrester screen? I've been looking for a good scale solution to that.
