More progress on #17
Paint and decals are done. Now I'm adding the hand rails and it will be finished after that.

Looks great! I would love to see your paint setup the next time you are painting since it sounds like you paint outside.

Honestly all I use is spray paint. It has it's hiccups but 99% of the time I can correct it with the next color being applied.

Here we have a dump truck taken apart to be painted another color.
Another C&I Caboose in the works.
Then last the fictional calf engine. It does need a few touch ups on the black paint but it is ready for decals.

I have started to apply the decals. I managed to get about 97% of them on right now. Later today I will finish putting the rest on which include the inner decal ( cambria & indiana railroad decal ) and the number on both sides front and rear. It will then be completed and tested on the track with Engine #17.
C&I #64
The back story to having the calf units are is that they will be placed at the mines ( more than likely the bigger mines ) to move empty and loaded hopper cars around. They are Remote Controlled and are the only remote controlled units on my roster. The only time you will see them paired with a "cow" engine is when they are being moved to the shops for servicing.

Things are coming along nicely. The decaling is looking great.

Thank You Tom. Now I just have to get the numbers on and it will be ready to roam the yards of the C&I when it's built.
