Hi,

I´m Christian from Germany and want know the paint sheme ca no. 5836- about the action red .My question:Are the stripes in front of the cab also on the rear(if possible- pictures)?

Thanks forward for answering!

www.railpictures.net has some pictures of CP #5836 (sorry, I can’t figure out how to do a hot link from here). Just go to the site, type in 5836 under the “Enter Keywords” section and under “Select Railroad” click on “Canadian Pacific Railway”…then click “Find Photos!”. No rear shots of #5836, but I believe that it would have black and white stripes on the rear. While you are on the railpictures.net website, search other CP SD40-2 pictures with a similar scheme and you will see the black and white stripes on the rear.

Hope this helps!

Happy modeling!

Don.

Bear,
I don’t read German all that well, but that must be a G gauge model no?
Otherwise you have some seriously small Electronic components I would like to have…
ha hah…
That is an exceptionally niceley done model, too!!!

Thanks for sharing it!
