I'll be keeping it pretty light as that the time period that I model they would be fairly new. I try to keep in mind what the prototypes were assigned to when I do my weathering. The DL&W used the RS-3's primarily as switchers so a little basic grime will do. CNJ used the RSD-4's to hall cement trains so light colored dustings will work. And the RS-1 mainly were used in south Jersey in sand service, but also found themselves doing a variety of different jobs all over the system from, switching service at the New Jersey zinc plant in Palmerton PA to hump work in Allentown. I'll try to reflect that in the weathering.
