Started to put stripping on the walk boards. I found paint pens to work well. I pick them up at Michael's craft store. Trying to paint them with a brush can be tricky without getting paint on the top of the walk board. I've also used chart tape but it can come off when handled plus, when baked after putting a dull coat finish on, it can come loose.
Interesting. You do realize that the SP no longer used the gray boiler jacketing by the time the "silver" was applied to the fronts of the cab forwards?
