For a while now I have wanted to weather my freight cars. I have a few factory weathered cars and absolutely love the look. I had purchased supplies (Doc O'Brien's Weathering Powders) a while back, but never got around to trying it. Well, tonight I tried it for the first time. I was quite pleased with the results. My goal was to create just a light weathering on the cars which I feel turned out nice. See pics below of two cars I worked on tonight. I really enjoyed it and now see myself with a new addiction of dirtying up the fleet.
Factory new model
First attempt at weathering with weathering powders

Another comparison
Notice the trucks weathered vs. factory black
I wasn't quite sure how to weather this one, so I just rolled with a little bit of this powder and a little of that powder.

Also, here are pics of the past week's progress / changes:
The spur at D&D News now is on the side of the building.
Vandelay Industries was added next door making the industrial area more dense as typical with Chicago.
