Hi folks,
I'm actually in the process of detailing a pair of HO Bachmann GP9. It should be a relatively straighforward process
My goal is to paint and detail them as if they were among those few engines that survived in their old original paint scheme. The only issue about Bachmann paint job is that they used GP7 as model. It means "Canadian National" is centered on the carbody. GP9 hves the markings not centered. I could bother erasing and decalling new names but I feel it would make more harm than good.
I checked up a few historical pictures, but have some problem locating some details.
1) Horn. Where are located horn on those model (when they were still wearing the yellow & green scheme)?
2) Are stanchions black? Skirts seem to be black too with front pilot.
Thank you!
Matt
