Thanks to each and everyone who responded, and forgive me for not responding sooner as I have been painting, lettering, golfing, travelling, keeping wife happy, etc. I didn't get the base, silver coat off as I didn't wait for all the suggestions, but went ahead and painted the whole engine with 2 coats of water based red primer. With 2 coats of CP Tucson Red and 2 coats of CP Grey she looks just fine (all brushed on & water based). It looks good. Thanks to "locomotive3" for 91% Isoprop Alchy idea; "emeraldisle" for 401 idea; "emdgp92" for Easy-Off idea; and "BentnoseWillie" for PineSol Idea and again the 91% Alcohol idea ( although I have trouble painting after the latter). Also thanks to "BentnoseWillie" my diesel now has a name. Funny thing, when I read the footnotes on my CP paint scheme plan, this was the identity I was using for the colors. However it stated That CP's MLW made units had low noses and even sugested to make a CP unit, replace the cab and nose on the Tyco C630 from a Tyco C430 -- Which I also just happen to have as a derelic CN body shell. However, I'm going to leave well enough alone and be satisfied with my High Nose C630 as my unit will have CP colors but raod name YAHOO MODEL RAILWAY (or YMR for short) and astory line that it was a first run ALCO unit given to CP for Demo Trials and sold cheep to the YMR when CP retired their Fleet of C630 as this was an odd one!!! Thanks again Guys [:)] Steamer Calgary
