Thanks to Mac Loco for the pictures, here's what I've come up with for unit #1102. She still needs windows, wipers and weathering.

Looks good, Jerome. I wish Floquil would come out with a "Faded Harbor Mist Gray" since you spend so much time doing the gray on UP engines and then have to start right in making it about 10 shades lighter when you weather the engine.

Jim, take a look at Floquil's SP lettering gray. It makes a very good faded UP harbor mist if sprayed very lightly over the original.

She has a well used look to it.

Very nice job on matching the weathering. It looks like someone has been throwing tomato sauce on those stepwells. Thanks for the tip on the SP lettering gray. From the deep recesses of my mind, I do remember using that way back in about 1970, when I was painting 7 or 8 engines a week.
