We must all remember that we're talking about the PRR here so logic probably wasn't a priority!
So now that I've handed out my insult for the morning, I've got a question regarding the weathering/coloring of the hopper insides. I've weathered a few of my hopper insides but really am not happy with the slope sheets themselves. Chances are unless it's been setting empty for awhile, the slope sheets would be bare metal. What are some suggestions for coloring them? I would also guess the sides of the hoppers would be rusty on top but gradually turn into bare metal near the bottom.
