I'm a big fan of powders - mine are PanPastels (blacks, browns, grays, rusts). A good suggestion for application is to buy a set of cosmetic brushes - I got everything from a small applicator to a 1" diameter brush to dust on the powder. You can either leave them on as is or seal them with Dullcote. Personally, I apply to just about every surface with special attention to seams, grabs, roofs, handrails, etc., but I model a set of bankrupt railroads with a great deal of equipment that hasn't been serviced well for several years.
Lookin' great so far. My suggestion is to play around with the powders. If you feel like you just overdid it, wipe or wash and you can start over.
