Who else models this besides me? I had some GP38-2's custom painted by a gentleman in Des Moines and they look great. I also model the Iowa Northern, and the Rock.

Great Hobby Adventures in West Des Moines has a guy who does custom paints for the Iowa Interstate, and they look great. He charges 75.00 per locomotive, and they are super detailed.

While I model an Illinois Shortline, I still keep tabs on the IAIS; especially Sub2. Pretty neat railroad, great people.
Thought these would be interesting(If you haven't found them yet)
