For the colors, I used a cheap, $20 Testors airbrush, which does an excellent job for being so cheap.[:D] After it was painted, I added Microscale decals, the handrails, and the grab irons. I put the lift rings and snowplow on before I painted it. Once everything was on and painted, I sprayed it with a can of Testors "Dull Cote" so it would blend everything in.[:D]

With that Mashima motor they did have a very good mechanism but they sold about as well as the Yugo did.

I've been interested in perhaps purchasing one or two of these. Thanks for the compliments everyone![:D] I might do a review sometime. I'll say now, the shell is a step above Athearn's SD40-2 because of the extra detail parts, but the drive is a step below, because of the lack of flywheels. It does have a tan Mashima can motor in it, so it runs fairly well.[:D]

I finished painting my first custom painted diesel engine today. The engine is a GSB Rail Ltd. HO scale SD40-2 in the Canadian Pacific Golden Beaver scheme. Every part you see on the engine (except the couplers and brake wheel) are the factory parts from GSB, and the detail isn't too bad either! So, what do you guys think? I know I'm proud of it.
