it took me less than two hours but I made this locomotive from an F7 dummy chassis and I used a custom built shell for the locomotive and the decals are made from printer papaer and applied with an elmers glue stick. The train is Number 5850 because S.C.P. - 5850 happens to be a train to hell, it is supposedly a black 4-6-2 pacific locomotive and it has been traveling at speeds estimated to 75 to 80 KPM and over time has picked up speed it never stops and has never been seen by anyone that I know of but it has been recorded on satilite so it does possibly exist.
I would have bet money that you couldn't apply decals with a glue stick.
Large blocks of text are hard for some of us to read, especially when it is only one sentence, but I applaud your efforts.

It's nice to see young guys working on trains and using their hands and imaginations! Interesting concept. You're from Beaverton? I'm from Bend, not that far away. Dan
BigDaddy I would have bet money that you couldn't apply decals with a glue stick.
You would be surprised of what I am capable of. also the declas are made on printer paper
