Hey all, here's a project I recently did for a friend, taking an Lionel TMCC Southern daylight Pacific A-6 Atlantic and changing it too an all black SP paint scheme, following prototype pics of SP #3000. Changes include-
-Stripping paint on Vanderbilt tender and cab, then repainting both black
-new decals on cab and tender
-scratch made headlight visors for both front and rear headlight
-stripping paint on steam chest and removed PRR elements with a Dremel and file (this loco uses the same chassis as the PRR E-6) used model filler to fill those areas, sanded primed and repainted steam chest
-stripped and repainted the drive wheels, as these engines are known for having outgassing/chipping paint.
-repainted smokebox and firebox a darker shade of graphite.
-new pilot and trailing trucks, the original ones had cracked plastic bearings and those aren't available anymore, at some point Lionel redesigned both the pilot and trailing trucks, so those were installed instead. These were painted black to match the drive wheels.
Currently does not run, but the owner will be installing a blunami sound board.
