The Big Blue SD 50's weren't the first to carry the 6700 series road number.

Thanks bud. I mixed some Floquil Conrail Blue with a little white to get the general fade. I then airbrushed a very light coating engine black across the top. This gave a little grip for the A.I.M powders to give it some depth. I was pretty pleased with it. Being an NS modeler, it's hard to get a good contrast on an all black engine so I tested some things out on ol' blue

I replied on my own thread (First attempt at weathering with airbrush) the following the other day:
I have found two techniques, which, I hope will work well: first fade the black to anything from a deep grey to a white depending on how severe you want it; or use a deep grey in place of the black for the grills and vents and maybe tint the exhaust stains with a deep dull grey.
I haven't tried them yet so I have yet to see the results but I'm sure it'll be worth finding out.
Maybe this might help.

Do you fade them much?
