I'm not a Brass collector or buyer but when I see those models in bare brass I think what a shame to mess it up with dirt.
I'd buy two one for the cabinet one for the layout!
My wife would say "I believe you".
It's a great weathering job congratulations mate.
Please can I ask you one day to resin mould some Steel Mill items like ladles for pouring and carrying hot metal and the large hooks to lift them off the cars and I will make the rest. The ladles I am referring to are not like the Slag car ladles from MTH or Lionel they are like this. Thanks.
