I'd like to know what colors of chalk I could use to weather engines and freight cars. I think this will be the easiest option for me since there are a lot of architecture and arts supplies here in my vicinity. Please help me out. 
Chalk for weathering?

Plain chalks are kind of hard to use, they tend to blow away easy. However, I use earth tones (browns, tans, reddish browns), plus white, gray & black.
Weathering powders are much easier to use. The powder sticks better.

I use artist pastels. I find them to be far cheaper than model railroad weathering powder sticks...but just as effective. Just don't forget to dullcoat it when you're down...to avoid it falling off.
