Help wiith an engine!

[CNW 6000]

I have a Kato CNW Century class diesel engine in the brighter of the two yellow colors. The engine has a CNW fleet number of 403. What kind of century engine is it and where can I get another one or a new CNW body for this one cuz the mount is cracked?

CNW had four C-425s, Nos. 401-404.

Thanks! I just found that on www.utahrail.net but can anyone direct me where I might get a new body for it? Kato doesn't even list that model anymore.

Keep an eye on eBay...I have seen undec bodies for the Atlas/Kato Centuries, you might find a CNW one come up...

Atlas still has undecorated body shells available for C-425s @ $3.00 each. Check their online catalog for loco spare parts under the C-424/425 (Japan) listing.

To find a CNW painted shell eBay is your best bet.

Got the url for the Atlas Online Catalog? I can't seem to find it.

Anyone know when CNW switched to "Zito Yellow" from the "Old" yellow?

If I remember correctly C&NW switched to "Zito Yellow" in 1980. At that time it was known as "Safety Yellow" and was replacing "Stagecoach Yellow". C&NW switched to "Traditional Yellow" in July 1991 on the third order of C40-8's (later C42-8's) due to the bleaching effects of the sun on the "Zito Yellow" and how badly it faded.

New question:

Did CNW have/use any Alco Century C-415 Center Cab Switchers?

If C&NW ever did, they have never shown up on any roster I've seen. So, as far as I know, no.

Hmm. I guess that makes this a curious ad on eBay but then I did find an SDP 40 in CNW numbered w/936, which was a U 30C if I recall correctly, at a hobbyshop once. Not that the guy was shady and the unit is interesting but not accurate. Thanks!

New engine, new question:

I just got an "old-style" Athearn C44-9W and I need to paint the handrails. Some shade of green I believe. Is there a specific color I should look for? I'm sure there is but I don't know what it is called.

[Anonymous]

Testors CNW Green would work

Even though the bottle in the picture says D&H Gray!

Yet another engine question:

What road # was CNW's SD-CAT? I got a CD from the CNWHS that has recordings and it's awesome. One neat one is of the SD-CAT. Anyone know when, where, how it was used? Any details would be appreciated. Plus where I could get a model of one.

That might be the C-415 from IHC. It comes in ALL KINDS of un-prototypical paint schemes. [:D] I've got one in UP, for instance. UP had one, acquired from another RR, but from what UtahRails says, it was never PAINTED in UP Armor Yellow/Grey.
