Little more than 20 minutes it turns out. If I dry each stage with a hair dryer anyway.
Step 1 - Lightly abraide the sides with a fat fibreglass pencil to add some wear.
Step 2 - Matt varnish the model.
Step 3 - Dry brush the black bits with Humbrol 67. (Sorry, an earlier version of this had 69. I use Tank Grey, not Yellow for weathering! )
Step 4 - Dry brush the metalwork with Humbrol 70.
Step 5 - Add some Revell 9 streaked lightly down the sides. Again, mostly dry brushing.
Step 6 - Give the model a wash with black Citadel wash, dragging it vertically down the sides again. Use the same stuff inside the wagon.
And there we go. Not the most sophisticated weathering job in the world, but not bad. Some powder would really finish things off, but I wanted to keep my fingers clean to use the camera, so it can wait.

20 minutes work, based on 20 years of experience... to practise makes perfect :-)
Humbrol 69 appears to be yellow? Is that really what you use?
Sorry. Should be 67. Now corrected in the text. Thanks for pointing it out.
LMS Dia.1666?
If so, is this the new/recent Rapido model?
Very nice, whatever it is!
I really must finish my old 3H kit...
No problem. Guessed it was a typo but as not familiar with Humbrol couldn't see the obvious correction.
And always the slim chance that cunningly used yellow worked...🤣
Simon - Yes it is. They let me have a few different wagons for magazine projects. Nice model, but not as satisfying as building a kit!
