Well here it is the finished project well basically finished project still need decals. Its painted with Polly S Santa Fe Blue, Sun Yellow Spray paint, Black is done with Walmarts Flat Black spray paint. I used Adhesion Promoter on the handrails like I read in an older Model Railroader so far it worked great thinking of using it on all the locomotive shells. Its a Clear Primer. I have a Digitrax DH163PS wired with working ditch lights on F1 and F2 but need to reconfigure the CVs on it which Digitrax sent me. Hoping to get some decals printed up and put on by the end of this week with the right CVs for ditch lights.

zxb1,

thank you for the compliment. This is my second version of a paint scheme I started a year ago. i confess I had doubts this would come out so nice but it did.

I was told by a guy I know who paints locomotives models to take your time, think how its going to look, dont spray the paint on thick, spray fine coats to build it up. And always use primer.
