I got self-designed decals so I can progress with typical polisch coaches: bar-car, 1/2 class and couchette:
Repainted set of Marklin tank cars for gas transportation - ORLEN is the biggest polish petrol-company (formerly Petrochemia Plock):
Another M62/ST44 diesel locomotive. This time it will be red one for ORLEN KolTrans - a railway company of the biggest Polish Oil Coompany. Locomotive was not originally supplied by Russia to Poland. It does not have typical Pilish big lights:
Marklin produced also GATX and VTG tank cars in dark grey colour. They were leased by LOTOS - the second biggest Polish oil company. There were also white GATX cars - not produced by Marklin. I made one of them: This is a beginning of the whole LOTOS train:
There must be a locomotive for those tank cars. It is going to be BR285-123 Traxx diesel locomotive: https://wrphoto.eu/details.php?image_id=27648 Occasinally it was used for special passanger trains as well: http://www.ok-kolej.pl/details.php?image_id=11169 There is Marklin diesel suitable for repainting. I did double repainting job - one is for a friend of mine. Body shelle were cleaned - for the first time I used ultrasonographic cleaner with acrylic paint thinner: Primer painting: First main colour applied: Masking before roof painting: Ready for decalling:
I do not print decals by myself. I designed them and they vere printed via MF-Zone: http://www.mf-zone.pl/index.html They specialize in decals for sport cars.
One more white GATX/LOTOS tank car. This time it is weathered to represent quite long time ago repaired car.
Finally LOTOS train project is finished. Diesel loco + 15 tank cars in 5 different paint schemes leased from 4 operators.
