I was lucky to have found unit #7350 (sublettered GSCX on cab) sitting idle in a Canadian train the other day.

From the looks of it - the railings get worn down considerably. Depends on if you're keeping your model clean. If I were doing a weathered one - I would start with black (or dark steel) railings and drybru***he blue paint here and there. The railings are white at the steps, as per the other photos people supplied.

does anybody have information on the GATX lease locomtives painted in the scheme put in Athearn's SE 2 pack. The info i'm mainly looking for is what color to paint the handrails, end rails and steps.
