A very excellent work
As for weathering, Frank Delano has made many photos of railroads in colour about 1941 - 1944:

These and many more photos on shorpy are a very excellent pattern of how rolling stock was lookalike then. And as a note; this was wartime, when cars were only minimal serviced. Washing the outside was not included with this servicing duties, only the absolute minimum was done to keep the car rolling.
