CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas)

[sailormatlac]

jwb, I agree, it's a little bit sad to sacrifice them, but that's just the way it is. I would feel real bad to strip a CV in its attractive green & yellow scheme. But don't worry, my DW&P RS-11 in gold & green will be kept as is.

I also discovered when stripping the BN unit that SuperClean only attack white decals on Atlas Classic units. I'm seriously thinking about removing the lettering and keep the paint on the shell. It wouldn't only need a few touch up and nose repainting. I'll see, maybe it's more work than it's worth.

I remember reading about the DW&P units, they effectively travelled a lot... I've seen picture of CV RS11 pulling trains in Southern Quebec (in black-red wet noodle).

CN Lines has an interesting article on CN RS units.
