I am rather new at model railroading and would like to get into weathering cars, for which you need a airbrush. I wanted to know if the Aztek A480 Airbrush Set is a good airbrush for this?

The club I belong too has a fleet of On3 cars that all need their trucks replaced.  They are mostly scratchbuilt and hardly conform to the NMRA Gauge.  The previous owner of the cars (who sadly passed away many years ago and his family gave the club the cars) was not interested in operation.  The O Scale group (currently only 2 of us, but we have a few new members coming on board who are interested in joining the O Scale group) is interested in operation so we want to upgrade the trucks by replacing them all.  I originally was hoping to find EBT based trucks, but the

Maybe someone can help streamline my research here.  My brother recently asked me to repaint and decal an Alco FA and FB unit into New York Central livery.  He wants these two to match another FA that he has that is in the NYC black paint scheme.
