    Not "Patched" but not "untouched" either by those with paint and too much time on their hands.

    So would it be considered "tagging" if we painted those yellow panels gray to match the rest of the locomotive? :confused:

    The pressure washer has taken off the black patches, and our 5387 now is almost 'unpatched'. :D

    And nothing says SP like the proper nose lights! :D
    (OK, OK.......I did add my own personal red light, but it sure did look good, even if just for a moment!)

    Gotta love it! I wonder if you removed enough paint if a little Aspen Gold would show thru....

    Wasn't that long ago I would see nothing but SP AC4400Ws on the North Fork Branch coal trains in & out of Grand Junction........glad to see the "class unit" (SP 100) is still un-Borged.

    We have a unpatched SP GP40 mated with a "Borg-patched" GP38-2 serving yard switching and local chores at Ray Yard in Denison.
