Someone donated a Kato SD-45 to the Museum to run on the HO layout. It is undecorated. I would like to give it a quick paint job before I mount all the details and set out on the layout. The layout is very generic so we run about anything on it. I was thinking some rent-a-wreck leasing company. Not many had SD-45s.
Any era, just something simple that SD-45s were actually painted at one time. N&W simple black would work but I think they had a high short hood. Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
early ATSF blue and yellow....fits your region and does not use any special lights like the SP... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__TkYG1Rhm...+photographed+at+Ilmon+on+Tehachapi+Pass..jpg
How about Pennsy? Dark green with a few red keystone heralds to add a bit of colour. http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/tr_prr6200a.jpg
What'd they do, pay the painter byt the keystone? I think he missed a louver in the back he could put one on, too.
ok, here goes, Mo-Pac or the South Orient Railroad blue http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=621927
*Ah-hem* If you want a Leasing Company, give it a nice coat of silver, wrap a piece of narrow masking tape around the body Frisco style, and paint it in a nice, professional orange. BNSF or GN oranges would work. I can send you the decals for TBX
The museum layout is very generic. It has a Swiss Chalet type village with the Canadian Rockies in the background, an area that looks like the desert Southwest and a huge passenger depot that hosts the Santa Fe, Great Northern, Union Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande. There is a large Shell Oil refinery in the middle. Anything goes. http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/showgallery.php/cat/660
Hmm, I am looking to avoid any masking and use what decals I have, white or black Gothic sheets from Microscale.
OK, I think I found one. I have black paint and white decals. Will give it a go. It won't have the correct SP head lights or snow plow but I can live with that. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=91581
Hmm, rrpicturearchives.net must be down for a while. The link above won't load any more. Here is the locomotive.
