MTH PREMIER SEABOARD E-8 PAINT CHANGES (CLOSER TO THE PROTOTYPE) | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Had a weekend to myself and decided to do whatever came to mind. I had seen prototype photos of Seaboard E-8's and noticed that MTH painted them to be similar to the E-4's. Had a shell that was a little rough to work with so I mixed some testors paints to match(pretty close) the MTH Seaboard Pullman green and orange. Then I removed the side screens and rubbed off the black seaboard letters with lacquer thinner and painted it flat black. The pilot, trucks & fuel tank got the same treatment with satin black, as did the lower edge of the shell. I then added a seaboard decal and this is what I got-all in all a couple hours work, most of which was mixing the paint. It is not a museum piece, but boy do I like it better!!! -Scott
