Not bad, Hopefully applying the letters to the fluting wasn't a pain.
Fluting seems to create trouble when I attempt to decal things (especially bad on some NJ Transit projects, like the PL42AC and ALP44). This is why I assumed the prototype either bolted (or glued, is some of the dead SEPTA silverliners are any indication) name plates to the sides of the equipment.
Either way, its good to see some other "commuter" operations on someone's layout. Maybe my perspective is skewed because I live in New Jersey (I'd have to go fairly far to NOT be near ANY form of commuter rail, especially to the North or South) but it seems like most model railroads leave out even a basic commuter run.
Obviously, if you're operating an ISL type layout, you probably won't have any, but even the "larger" layouts tend to have the occasional long distance train pass through. Even this is logical to an extent, but still.
Don't long strings of boxcars get boring after a while?
