richhotrain Burlington Northern #24 richhotrain Burlington Northern #24 I haven't posted in this thread I think... but anywho why not custom paint and decal stuff for hard to find road names, I personally am trying to find an AB F3 unit pair that I can repaint for SP&S. I think that decals need to be available in large amounts as well as paint, but that's just my . I enjoy painting and decaling my stuff it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Easier said than done. Even if you have the right tools and supplies, custom painting locos requires a fair amount of skill that many of us lack. Rich that was just my personal opinion, but you're right it does require a lot of skill my first time around when I painted my dash 8 was terrible but I've repainted it and it looks much better. it may also be patience too. I have terribly unsteady hands for some reason, I don't know why though. I forgot that I would like more undecorated locos. I will say this though about custom painting locos. If you can pull it off, then the undecorated locos are clearly the way to go. Same for passenger cars. Rich

You think finding those are hard, you should try modeling something really unsual. I model the Tonopah and Tidewater RR in 1912. I pretty much have to modify or scratch build everything. I usually have to letterthings with an alphabet decal sheet one letter at at time. - Nevin
