Weathering An HO Scale SD70ACe

Welcome to the first all-out detailed weathering project on the channel. I bought this UP SD70ACe with the intention to weather it and this is how it came out. Used about every trick in the book from washes to airbrushing to powders to kick up spray. This unit will be for sale eventually but for now I'm enjoying watching it run. Thanks for watching!
