You could do worse than pick up a couple of cheap wagons which are of no consequence as learning pieces and invest in the DCC Concepts weathering kit which includes a selection of powders and applicators - all you need to get started. Weathering Set: Locos and Wagons
A 0.5mm or 1.0mm mapping pen is also handy for inking in panel and door gaps to give added depth plus a pack of cotton wool buds to rub the wet ink around and work it in rather than have it appear as a harsh black line.
If powder weathering works for you then try being more adventurous step by step.
I seldom seal work but find instead that lightly-applied powders will often grab sufficiently to remain in place BUT beware of finger prints. They are your worst enemy. Always handle items using a soft cloth.
I don't have any bookings near Neath nor indeed in the near future other than a specialist master-class in October but I do take my weathering roadshow to a number of model railway club events. The next booking (currently - though more may arise) is at Hayle MRC next May.
