3rd rail NYC GP7

The stripes on the pilot suddenly stop leaving a large black rectangle.  Should be easy enough to fix either with an airbrush and some masking, or decals.  The road numbers on the sides of the cab are way too small, plus missing the NYC engine designation right under them.  Decaling the desgination should be easy with the proper decals, correcting the size of the road numbers would require a bit of work, but I think it could go unnoticed if you add the DRS-4E underneath.

Great looking engine. Enjoy. I should have added these to me reservation earlier. Very Nice.

What are you going to put those stripes on? There is nothing there now but air.

The 2 rail pilot that came with the locomotive no??  If one puts a kadee on then why would they not attach the  2 rail pilot  to cover up that nothing but air opening? The 2 rail pilot does not come with the painted stripes leaving a large black rectangle.  This may be why he did not put it on.  I was pointing out how this can be fixed and trying to help him.  However you are correct.  My English is indeed stunted and I should have writtten or forgot to write, "The stripes on the 2 Rail pilot suddenly stop leaving a large black rectangle."   I assumed he would know what I was talking about but did not take into account other readers.  My deepest apologies.  However, with all the black in the photo it is hard for me to see if that is a scale coupler and may be a non scale coupler, but I still think my thoughts useful for anyone else like me that has these.  The rest of paint is first rate.  And, I for one think another improvement is the elimination of the 3rd Rail cab figures.  I can now easliy put in a more realistic looking engineer.  Anyone notice anything else about the locomotive?

I have come back to edit my post as I have looked as carefully as I could at the photo, but MR-150 is that air in there or did you put the 2 Rail pilot on?
