Readers of a certain stamina may recall that I had a small disaster when previously trying to weather the timber upperworks of my tram locomotive. The weathering mix that I applied had dried glossy, and I was concerned that I would have to strip the paint off and start again.
My success with the Citadel washes meant that I was willing to give them a try on this model, before turning to something more drastic. And this is the result.

Much more matt, and a convincing settling of grime into the grooves. I've also used a more reddish colour ("Raal Red" - no, I don't know what a Raal or raal is either...) on the inside to bring out the planking.
Although not visible here, the floor has also been made grubby. I nearly became carried away and did the roof as well. However common sense saw the better of me, and I'm going to wait until I have studied a few colour photos to see how the weathering patterns can be made more realistic, rather than just my impressions of the effects of smoke and rain.
