I removed the second rear light off the back of the Bachmann GP40. Now it looks more like the real 3091. Now what I did to fill in the hole was something I've never seen before and wanted to give it a try. So before I did that, I tested the idea I had on a junk piece of rolling stock. What I did was, I used joint compound to fill in a hole and waited for it to dry. I then sanded it down and painted. Fingers crossed it turned out the way I wanted and it did. So now that I knew it would work, I filled the hole in with joint compound and it will dry over night. So come tomorrow the rear of 3091 will be painted. It may take a couple coats of paint to cover it but now it doesn't have that god awful second light that never existed on this engine.
