Let The Ageing Begin!

This is what I'll need for my winter project........a container of India Ink, a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, some mixing jars, and (not shown) some brushes.

A few years back I bought a collection of new railroad cars for my N scale layout.

But being brand new, they just don't look right. So I'll try weathering them. I usually use powdered chalks, and will again, but I've read often in Model Railroader that India Ink cut with rubbing alcohol is another good way to age rolling stock. I'll post pictures of the cars as I go along.
