Weathering technique question ...
Jared gave me some pointers on dry-brushing that I am going to use on a Jersey Central RS-1 ... hopefully with results that somewhat approach his really great weathering job on his Mikado.
I also want to weather three pieces of Atlas single-sheathed rolling stock ... with their simulated wood sheathing and outside steel bracing. Forum member "SIRT" Steve has often posted photos here of his Jersey Central work train single-sheathed cars ... but, sadly he has not been here for two years so I can't ask his techniques used.
So, how would you go about turning my stock car into Steve's beautiful model?
Thanks, Jim

I recently purchased one of these to try weathering. It definitely looks tough to do as the metal bracing has to be different than the wood.
