Everone finds their favorite, the medium that they have come to grips with, that they can manipulate to get the effect they want. I do like the results you get from using the pencils though, and I salute you for thinking of using them!
biL, I'm thinking that these are some cheapie map color type markers from WalMart that were bought years ago for my daughter's school projects. Although they work okay, I think a better quality colored pencil would be the ticket. The good thing about pencils is the control you get versus paint and a brush. The thin lines are so easy to do, and I highly recommend them for some weathering experimentation.

Whatever you discover, let us know!!

Thanks biL. I'm looking forward to getting it installed on the layout and scenicked. But the scenery is going to have to wait awhile.
