Ah, cool thread! I do have to ask though, how necessary is the "baking" of the paint?
As i understand it, a brand new Brass Locomotive comes out of the factory with clear base coat of paint. In fact, i know my E44As did before i painted them. so far, my paint has been just fine (it went on smooth, and hasn't chipped off).
Also, let me know exactly how you do the lighting. I not only have E44s to light, i have several MU commuter cars that need the lights, and i'm still so confused on how to get it done. I'm thinking those Nano LEDs from N-gineerring will be the best route for the small lights.
