Weathering some OO R-T-R stock

With 'Engine Wood' planned to be attending 'Hornby Magazine Live' at Hartlepool in early July, I thought I'd open some of the boxes of new R-T-R stuff and introduce a bit more variety in terms of stock used.
Over the last couple of weeks, I've been working on a pair of Hawksworth coaches, three full brakes (one each of Hawksworth, Gresley & Mark 1 BG), a Hornby GW horsebox, a Hornby 'Van C' and finally a single 16t mineral wagon (needed one more to make up a second rake of 16 tonners). I also weathered a Bachmann bogie bolster, which had had it's couplings done years ago, but had never been weathered (you can tell it's an old one, as it has plastic-tyred wheels, which will probably get changed some time).
All have been fitted with screw or three-link couplings and vac/steam heat pipes, and all have been weathered. The weathering has been a mix of air brushing, dry-brushing and powders, but the essence of this job is that they had to be done relatively quickly, as there are other jobs I want to do before the show.
Most of the vehicles are now almost completed, and I thought I'd try a bit of photography this afternoon, but the light wasn't that good, so I only took a few photos:
