Since so many made nice comments on the project, I thought I would share the finished product with you. I figured the CNW wasn't too speedy at washing locomotives so a coat of weathering would be needed. I haven't added the numberboards yet, but they will be added this weekend.

I've done a couple of other CNW locomotives and rolling stock, but the first one that wasn't an actual CNW owned piece of equipment. Jeff Augsburg & Concord R.R. (a fictional shortline in Central Illinois) Come see us on the web: http://www.pegnsean.net/~revnjeff
Gotta toss my $.02 in. WOW!! It does look great. The CNW, IMHO, would have done it exactly like that. I think that is the best looking color scheme of any Class I.
Very cool, thanks for sharing! Any thoughts about a CNW SD80MAC? They were seriously considering ordering some before being assimilated, and I recently saw an EMD SD80MAC sales proposal brochure that was made out to CNW on ebay recently. It's a typical sales pitch, outlining the benefits of SD80MACs on the CNW. Even had a "generic" EMD widecab on the cover, decked out in CNW colors!
