I got my CSX SD60 painted with primer and decaled it. The decals show up real well. The engine looks great.

Yeah it's called the Death Star. It was used by IC from 1988-1998. I've got 3 engines in that scheme. It's my favorite IC scheme.
Atlas GP40 factory paint


Athearn BB GP40-2 that I decaled but not painted. My first decal job. Thats why it isn't as good as it should be.


Athearn BB GP38-2 that was ATSF and I painted and decaled it to IC


IC used the orange-and-white from 1966 unitl 1975 (from 75-88 it was ICG and they used several different schemes)
This is my Atlas U33C


IC used the green diamond from the beginning until 1966 for freight diesels
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=108889

IC used orange and brown for passenger engines (E units)
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=108891 some had the green diamond logo on the front, some had the split rail logo (split rail is like on my U33C)

IC used this attractive scheme for the E9s and passenger cars used for business trains in the 1990s http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=273786
