I have a trio of Walthers N Scale Difco Side dump cars. I was thinking about making rip rap loads for them out of Woodland Scenics talus. Is this the best way to go about this? Also, how would you weather the inside of the cars?

…which I think is a great photo showing , amongst other things, the inside of prototype hoppers. I don’t think that the weathering inside the Difco cars would be too much different.
