One of the salt wagons from the Thomas Show by Bachmann, as it looked in its Season 6 livery.
When I was little I used to call these "dog house" freight cars, as they have that peaked roof! I've seen great photos that have doors on the roofs as well for lowering blocks of ice, food crates, or china clay.
In addition to weathering using acrylics, scraped charcoal & pastels help with dust and coal effects. Then I finish with a clear matte spray, or leave it as it if it's just paint.
A very appealing wagon with good details and fun as always to give life for that extra touch of believable realism.
