Are you a MR subscriber? Over the years they've had several tutorials on weathering both steam and diesel.

Rich Yourstone had one in N Scale Railroading back in '04 that was a pretty good primer.

+1.  It was in this issue, and it was one of the best articles I have seen for general-purpose weathering techniques.

this is very basic weathering....
trucks & fuel tank painted weathered black, couplers rail brown... then dry brushed with gray, white and rust..
then chalk dust, black and dark brown applied with a soft brush over the car body. not an award winning museum piece, but plausible. it takes away tyhe shiny plastic look and can be done in 30 minutes...
