Glad you like it, thanks. I agree, they are a right pain to do. It helps if you can put a nice layer of dust or rust on the roof as well. It doesn't show too well, but there is evidence of that on the Florida Midland roof. The muck around the stacks has an element of Humbrol Metalcote to give a bit of a greasy sheen, but right by the stacks I put in weathering powder whilst still tacky to try and give a more matt sooty effect.
