Good Saturday morning to all. I have a few locomotives in various degrees of progress. 2 NS 9-40c’s arrived earlier this week and they are my first 6 axle purchases since I sold all the 6 axles in 2018. These will be used a on one of the 3 stack trains that will pass through the layout.
I prefer Scaletrains in general for locomotives but I think Soundtrax has better diesel sounds then ESU. I changed out the speakers to Scale Sound Systems and started the process. Inspected and then cleaned with a brush using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol.
Looking for inspiration on I found these Railpictures.net

I did mask the windows, headlights and ditchlights. The clear coat added was a 50/50 mix of Tamiya XF86 clear and X20a thinner. I let it dry 24 hours.
I then with a Tamiya mix of 20% white X2, 75% Isopropyl Alcohol and 5% x21 flat base I sprayed the fade mix at 18psi, with 26% humidity in a 68f degree area.
Interesting my own pictures are telling me I am not authorized, I will be back later
Back later
