GEC's Layout Progress

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Painting those units would indeed be a challenge. Love the blue 5 chime horn!

The trick is to paint it before you put it together! right now, All i need to do is drill in the ditch lights, and i can paint on the basic paint scheme, of platinum mist, Amtrak Blue (whenever i figure what color that really is), and Gray. I can use decal striping for the red stripe on the bottom. All the additional equipment can be painted separately and installed later to simplify masking. The pantographs aren't hard to remove either.

How interesting!

The A/C unit cover over the lead end cab of #910 is white (maybe a replacement?) while the A/C cover on the unit over the trailing cab is blue like the rest of the roof ... an interesting detail to model!

Actually, I need to even pick up some of those Air conditioning units! the ones on the Atlas model actually don't even match the prototype ones, instead they match NJT ALP44 locomotives! luckily, i think BLMA sells these.
