How to Recreate Carbro?

AMERICAN CYANAMID, MAN IN SUBWAY Nickolas Muray (American 1892-1965)
Photographer Nickolas Muray's work has always been an inspiration and to my great joy some of his work is now available on Flickr's Commons.
The composition and lighting of this image are perfect creating the feel of a long journey on a hot summer's day.
This image uses the carbro process to produce the gentle gradation of fairly saturated colours. Over the past year, I have tried repeatedly to reproduce the feel of carbro in post-production but with little success to if you have tips to share, please send 'em along.

Who Are KPS?

Kingswood Photographic Society is one of the UK’s leading photographic groups, having been formed in 1948 by a handful of keen photographers.
Over the years, KPS has become renowned for the quality of its annual programme, with an emphasis on well-known outside speakers from around the UK. In addition, members run other evenings, with the aim of sharing their knowledge with others. Practical and competition evenings make up the balance of the programme, with AV being the latest innovation.
Within our normal programme, we hold a number of digital workshops. These are some of the reasons KPS attracts an enthusiastic, talented and friendly membership. Above all, the programme is designed to suit photographers of all ages and abilities.
