Coal loading in model

Hi all!
I don't know if this was ever common on the US narrow gauge, but I just had to build it!
I just finished a coal loading platform for my HOn3 layout.
As it's a laser cut kit, I decided not to use a wash to color the wood, instead I painted it.
I used Vallejo IDF gray primer.
I then applied an oil based wash from AK.
The crane got weathered by various rust colors and powders.
Then some gloss oil spill.
This can be a nice addition to the engine service facilities.
