Decaling (cont)
SP AC-6.
This is the factory painted engine that had the late model large SP on the tender that I had to strip and re-paint for the earlier smaller 'southern pacific lines' logo.
I tried using solvaset to just dissolve the decal but the factory must of put a clear coat on so the shell was stripped.
Two coats of black and in the toaster over for two 'cookings'.
New decals added and all parts clear coated with satin gloss.
I just noticed that the SP tenders have number boards so those got 'numbered': always fun putting on those microscopic nomenclature!
FINALLY: Except for the GN O-8 mike tender that needs decals (waiting for those to arrive), all the engines are painted and decaled....yeah!
10 engines and one cabeese:
DM&IR 2-8-8-4
SP AC-4,5,6,7,9
GN O8 mike.
Milwaukee EP-2 bi-polar electric.
