I did some more test.
I weathered a side of the locomotive to see how it would look. First, I applied a wash of titanium white to fade the color. A second wash of titanium white and raw sienna was brushed. Then, two layer of black and burnt umber were generously applied. The result is surprisingly good. The faded yellow Bachmann used turned golden because of burnt sienna pigment. Overall, it's more realistic and nearer to the real thing.
Without weathering:

All in all, there's hope. Correctly weathered, the stock model should be very nice.
Mine will end up in a bottle of 95% alcohol!
