Badhorse79 · July 04, 2012, 01:19:26 PM

I just put in the final roof detail on her so here's a shot

Here she is On DPU duty going west to the Yard then up to Duke Power there she will be assigned to a small coal train back to the loader on the Wallow Creek branch

I just thought of something! !??? Are the ACes set up for DPU service?

Yes I believe so, they come through lawrenceburg almost daily in dp coal service. You had my attention at "1002"

Lol...thanks KIT... I know I.need to get that lil switcher made someday

Yes they are set up for DPU and ECP. 1002 has been the DPU on loaded trains here a couple times, but I never had my camera when it came through.

Badhorse79 · July 05, 2012, 01:22:26 PM

Me too .. just wish she had sound ..and a ISO cab but ill live lol

NSMoWandS · July 05, 2012, 01:25:52 PM

Take a felt/ultra fine tip marker and make your own ISO-cab line! Dan Just a thought!

Badhorse79 · July 05, 2012, 01:44:01 PM

Weird yesterday I taped her up to "paint lines and peeled the decals off lol so after I renumber it ill try that

Badhorse79 · July 05, 2012, 02:54:31 PM

Had a set of decals that has a tiny lil Dark Blue stripe ... and I used that ... let me know what ya thinks

Badhorse79 · July 05, 2012, 03:18:25 PM

I also added the box "thing" on the conductors side of the fuel tank

Badhorse79 · July 05, 2012, 03:43:51 PM

This is kinda a lil before and after pica

NSMoWandS · July 05, 2012, 04:45:36 PM

Looks good. I would weather the ISO line a little... but, you prob were already going to do that. And the tech term is "thingy" with a "y" ;D Dan

Kentucky & Indiana Terminal RR · July 05, 2012, 05:28:40 PM

I have to say that is a nice looking engine, and I don't usually like any engine designed to leave yard limits. ;D

Badhorse79 · July 06, 2012, 10:45:35 AM

Thanks KIT

NSMoWandS · July 06, 2012, 01:56:22 PM

Badhorse, as per your "peeled the decals off" comment... do you seal your locos with dulcoat or glosscoat? I find that it keeps the decals on... and blends them into the paint to hide the edge lines. Just a thought. Dan

Badhorse79 · July 06, 2012, 02:54:18 PM

I use semi-gloss before I decal ... then I use solveset but I only flat coat the areas I weather.... but now I've learned to tape up the windows so I can seal the whole shabang

NSMoWandS · July 06, 2012, 03:15:32 PM

Windows... and WHEELS! don't forget to tape up the wheels!!!! Dan

Badhorse79 · July 06, 2012, 03:22:09 PM

I do lol I doooo....
