I use chalks and washes, how about you?
Who is Gary Christensen and where is he demonstrating his methods?
I had almost all of my rolling stock out on the sections of layout that got moved from one house to my present one. But the layout never got put back together...for about 20 years! Dust and dirt provided a good deal of weathering. All I had to do was be careful when handling the cars after I built my present layout. With some of my diesels and steam locomotives, I utilized very light applications of Floquil rust, dust, mud, grimy black (for exhaust residue on my diesels). Mostly I used nearly dry brushes. I don't overdo it, as the Burlington Route kept their rolling stock pretty clean, especially passenger cars.Pretty much the way I weather all my stuff - leave it on the layout and let it weather naturally.
Funny thing here, at buy & sells, I've heard buyers say of weathered stuff "That looks old" and pass it by.
