How are you supposed to decal a enigne right in front of the cab? In the picture I boxed the place where I am talking about. I’m going ot decal a SOU engine and don’t know how to get there?
Thanks for any help,

If the cab is removable, do it separately. If not, cut the decal into smaller pieces and fit them around the cab.
Hi Dekruif,
I’ve painted several Southern locos before in the Tuxedo scheme, and I have never bothered using decals to get the white band.
I paint the engine white first, mask off the band, spray on the black, then either mask and spray the gold or using gold stripe decals.
I find painting the white stripe to be MUCH easier than using a decal and trying to get it to set around all the molded details and shell contour.
Hope this helps.
