Thanks Pieter--I'll give it a try soon.

Hi Bob;
The principle technique is to brush a fairly heavy wash of "grunge"
color over part of the car (one side of the door, for example) and
then wipe it off with a soft sponge, cotton swab, etc. wiping in the
direction of gravity. The color will remain in and around details like
rivets, panel lines and door latches, as well as leaving some color on
the whole car side. You can use craft store acrylic paint, artist tube
acrylic or oils.
Chalk and airbrush effects can be added over the base coat to blend or
simulate load spillage.

I really like the 'grunge' weathering on Jim's car. Particularly the
rows of rivets and the braces on the Murphy roof and how the dirt
collects in the joints. This is something that I would like to
obtain. I've done a fair amount of airbrushing and some powder
applications but none seem to work as well as I'm seeing presented
here. Any hints on accomplishing that look?

Hi Bill;
Neat! Those are based on the 1932 ARA/AAR car with flat plate ends
and roof. I posted a link to the Jim Six article on building the
freight version a last month.
