Well, I got a little model railroading done this weekend. Got the zebra stripes on the 44-tonner, following the advice I received in this thread. It worked like a charm to do the front first and just dab a little Microset on the underside where the decal was supposed to curve around the corner.
This is what it looks like now:

I know that I still need a little retouching with a small brush, and then a coat of dullcote or something like that, before weathering. But at least my engine now bears a least a passing resemblance to an Omaha Road switcher, if you view it from three feet away
I also sprayed another coat of yellow on the second switcher (a GE 70-tonner), and put together the little 25 ton RR crane I was planning to use for my municipal barge terminal track:
