Thanks Matt. The problem with the decals is that I only have the tender logo and data, but no cab numbers. I did find some dry transfers for the number but they aren't an exact match in color. If I have to use them I will but I think I might have a few other options that I'll look into before. I also have no intention of using the crowns, I suspect they were included for a Royal Hudson locomotive.
While trying to track down a new set of decals (or dry transfers) I disassembled the engine for painting.

The cab and the tender parts were primed in gray. I'll mask and paint them in the next day or so.

As with the previous engine I dipped the wheels, and rods in Blacken-it. I'll clean the axles and wheels treads before re-assembly.
