Don't know how far back your Modelrailroader goes but the July 2000 edition had a nice recap and it works.

PENTEL GEL PENS!, the ones labeled MILKY comes in various colors, medium point(I believe).
Office supply stores.

Here's a no brainer & cheap idea for weathering faded cars and it comes from the folks at Athearn.

Spray dullcote on the car, let it dry overnight, then hit it with a pump spray of regular isopropyl alcohol.

If you don't like the results, it's reversible-
just re-spray will dullcote and it's like nothing happened(chemical re-action)

Stands out better on darker colored cars, roof,and the bull nose of my F units.
