Not quite what you mean I suspect, but there is a thread on the Flickr LEGO train Mocs group which has many examples of purist weathering.

I think most understand what weathering is.

here is at least how the model guys and gals do it:

Given the profound effects of prolonged (or even not so prolonged...) U.V. exposure on LEGO bricks, one solution might be to take a random selection of bricks that'll make up the outer surfaces of the loco or rolling stock and just leave them outside in the sun for a few weeks.... It should fade them enough to get a less uniform, weathered appearance.

This of course won't work so well if like me you live in the UK where we don't get much sun.....
