                        I base coat mine flat black, then dry brush with MM steel, then use a rust wash that's a mix of Humbrol sand (62, I think) and Burnt Umber oil paint. Then, finally, highlight drybrush with a touch of silver.

                        It seems about everyone does it a little differently.

                        Good luck

                        Yeah, looks like you've got the right info. Careful with those treads though, their a little bit stiff and their really hard to create a tread sag with, but keep trying...

                        My favorite approach is Floquil "rail brown", a railroad color,dark brown-black
                        wash,&dry-brush with a steel or gunmetal color, VERY lightly, or I lose my
                        visual effect. I don't like "bright " cause it draws your eyes to something that
                        ain't supposed to be bright ! Just enough to accent the track detail...
                        All the best
