Thanks guys.
Doug, I knew that the resin needed a sealed bed, so I used a layer of latex (wallpaint) to achieve that.
Si, actually there is some water on the floor. But I had some newspaper there, so not a big issue.
Also I had made some small dams for compartments, also on the baseboard edge, so the water was not running down immediately.

Hi Si,
Not sure about the wood. I have a few different types, depending on what is available in the right size.
Best guess: abachi wood for the planks and beech for the underframe.
The grain looks good in the photo but remember that this is 1:87.
When I look at the wood that I have laying around then I think that it is not course enough for what you want.
So the painting. I used watercolor.
Some brown, some black and that toned with a bit of white. Dilute it with plenty of water so that the wood don't become too black.
After that dried the wheatering is done with powder. A kind of dust color.
The roof is made of filling paper with came with a package. The structure is nice.
I mixed some glue (original tacky glue) with some black watercolor and water on some hard flat plastic.
Insert one strip each time and dab dry immediately (on a tissue/ kitchen paper) so that some of the paint mixture goes out.
That gave the effect of old tarpaper.

That really is a superb cattle truck Alwin.
I presume the "dusty" lower areas represents the dried limewash used to disinfect such vehicles,
well, at least that was the case in the UK in the early 20th century although I think a true disinfectant began to be used in the late 1920s.
Anyway, whatever the cause it's a first class effect.

Thanks guys.
@ Robin: It is a Rio Grande Models kit which you can find here:http://www.riograndemodels.com/HO.htm#Parts
I have also a Holt model 75 but that is still in the box and contains a lot more parts than the sixty.
It are nice models if you take the time for assembly. The manual is poor so try to fit the parts dry before you glue it down. That saved me a few times.
