Want To Weather Toy Train Stock

In the past I have tried my hand at weathering. Mostly it was the Field Railway stock made by LGB and Hartland. I was never really happy with the results. Now I would like to try it albeit at the next, or should I say at a more informed level.

I have a bunch of LGB Toy Train wagons, both the boxcar type and open gondolas. Before I delve into the task I wonder if any of you weathering gurus can point me in the right direction as far as what to use goes. Examples in the way of photos would be helpful. I know the forum has had many photos of finely weathered stock, but a few here would expedite things.

Thank you in advance.
