Hi all,
I posted a story a while back about the MPC era NW-2 DTI switcher set that my kids and I found at a garage sale. Well it has become the first loco I have custom painted and decaled for my layout. The Rachel and William Railroad is of course named after my children and they both got to choose the colours for our new locomotive. My son wanted blue and my daughter chose red so I went with a two tone, simple paint job.
I used the testors decal sheets for inkjet printers and they worked fairly well. I learned lots of lessons by making many mistakes about masking, printing and mounting decals and painting. Here are the results, far from perfect but great fun. My kids love it and that's what it's all about. Hope you enjoy the pictures below.
