Thanks for the video Super, weathering is always one of those things I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand I love the look of realism that you can achieve and its something I'm sure/know I could do if I wanted to as in days gone by I used to paint Warhammer miniatures to a very high standard.
But on the other hand I find myself feeling that I'm being a bit of a vandal when considering effectively trashing a brand new pristine model that looks superb in its own right.
Add to that if you go to a heritage railway you will find that their 'working engines' are so cared for that they look more like those pristine models so should you really weather your models?!?
What I am doing is looking out for old/tatty/cheap but good running loco's that I could weather with a clear conscience on the basis that I'm not ruining a pristine model and in fact am improving it!!

Happily collecting things all my life...
