UP C44-9W 9819 Nose. This was a stock Kato unit that has been super detailed with numerous BLMA, Atlas, and Gold Medal Models parts. I used Microscale decals after stripping the Kato numbers and Union Pacific in order to get the correct black outline. The paint is Polyscale UP Armour Yellow that was mixed with a few drops of Boxcar Red to get the paint to match. The UP Grey is pretty close out of the bottle. The UP Wing is correct for 9819, however, I made a small consession in this should have the lighting stripes instead of the standard straight lines. I didn't want to completely strip and repaint this particular engine.
