I've started the paint on one of my NY&A GP38-2s, this one will be #270. I was only able to paint one because i ran out of the right size trim tape. I'll order more and start on #271. I'm going to try and get the decals on this one tonight, just wanted to post some pics of the paint. I'll have to go back for some touch up here n there and it's not quite the correct shade of green but i'm happy with how it came out being this is the first locomotive i've painted myself. I'm also working on #261, I have the Athearn model but I removed the square filter box and replaced it with an angled one and i'm having trouble matching the paint and im considering stripping off the paint and repainting it so it will match.
