Blue and Gold livery is pretty smart too, although this example is still far too clean, but it does show the detail well especially as you can see the yellow railbox through the grilles at the front.
Next on the list will be the road signs, a few Stop signs and R/R yellow signs to go up, I think I've settled on using 1mm round plastic tube for the posts it seems that sign posts can have 76 or 89mm round tubes in the US so I've gone for modelling the 89mm which works out at 1.05mm in HO so thats perfect I reckon. Wikipedia has helped with fiels for both signs so they just need resizing to scale and printing on some adhesive backed photo paper and will be stuck to some thin plasticard.
