    Here are my two latest Bicentennial units. Alaska Railroad's two F units, 1510 & 1512. Actually, they should be FP-7's but since none are available, I used two Kato Sante Fe units instead.

    Outstanding job Bill. Those would look mighty nice on the Alaskan RR section of my layout.

    You don't hire out, do you?? :)
    Thanks for sharing the photos.

    I like it!!! They would go well with my ARR GP-38 and SD70MAC.

    Thanks guys! I must admit these were some of the hardest ones I've done so far. I don't know why I had such a time with the striping. I was working on them at night after a long day at work, which is probably why, and cursing quite a bit. I'm not sure what my next Bicentennial unit will be. Probably one of the following three:

    B&M GP38
    EL SD45
    Katy GP40

    Looking excellent. I'd not even noticed they're non-FP7!

    I trust you'll be taking some photos of the ARR? If not riding it?

    Would love to be there!
