Some time ago I experimented with weathering a locomotive for the first time. The locomotive, as seen above, was needed on my Castle Diorama to pull a short train of passenger carriages with tourists coming to visit the old castle.
While building my castle diorama, I have given a lot of thought to how to paint the fieldstone walls. Most people paint thm some sort of grey, but that seems a bit dull to me.
Inspired by the great book Capturing Clervaux, I thought about plastering the walls and trying to simulate an old and worn wall, where the fieldstone shows through the plaster here and there. But instead of experimenting on my growing castle, I decided to make a small fieldstone wall to experiment on.

Before closing off the dungeon from above, I wanted to place some interior to set the mood.
Along with the beautiful little locomotive from Fleischmann I bought a number of freight cars as well. As with all other railroad models, they were made of ugly shiny plastic, and were just begging to be weathered.
