I have a gp40 I would like to paint in the csx mow scheme number 9728 or 9730. I went on railpictures.net and found one pic of each of them. I would like a few more so I can weather and letter my engine correctly. Any other place I could find pics of these locos?

Thanks that was a great help
Good. Now that you’ve been helped, here’s the famous 5D method for painting a locomotive such as this (once you have the necessary orange paint–your standard highway-construction orange):
Dip
Drip
Dry
Decal
Done!
(That’s how the real railroad would have done it if they could.)
ahh those old pumpkins…check out trainorderclassics.com and look on the C&O/B&O/Chessie page.
let us know how it turns out.
stay safe

It is coming along fairly well. Got the orange sprayed and new railings made from brass. Frame and trucks are weathered I just need to decal it and weather it per whatever one I choose.
I also looked up pics for a gp-9 for DT&I. Nothing matches the model I have so I need to find another road that would have an orange engine. These are pieces that I sprayed orange thinking my fictional road would be that color. But I sprayed another a red color and liked it better. So I think I will finish the others off and make it a leased engine for the road or something.
