Lookin' good, Galen, 
but go easy on the rust on the wheel faces: trucks with roller bearings (such as the mini-quads in Josh' link) have rust (and dirt) on both the front and rear faces of the wheels, while friction bearing trucks had such on the rear of the wheels only. The front face, except when new, was usually covered in oil from the journal boxes, with a lot of dirt stuck to it.
Didn't John Allen have an Effluvium mine on his layout?
