I have a Atlas U23B Chessie and I noticed that the grab iron ladder (The one that is on the rear of the train that you would us the climb to the top of the loco.) on the rear of the engine was missing a couple steps and both Coupler Lift Bars were missing. I e-mailed Atlas for parts but they only carry undecorated parts and I cant paint things. I ordered the Un-Dec. parts and I was wondering when I get them if there is anyone who I could mail them to for them to get painted. I am willing to pay but I dont have much money I am still in 8th grade and my only source of money is trapping and bailing straw and hay. Thanks here is a pic from the atlas website of the loco.

You would do better to paint it yourself. Place it on a piece of masking tape and use a good brush. That is how anyone would do a job like that. Give it two coats and install it. Simple.

Sounds easy to me but what colors do I need I am missing the ladder steps that are yellow or gold what is the name of the color and what color are the coupler lift bars. I know where to get paint I am not worried about that. But I just need the color names. Thanks
