Texas Tech University GP 35L Paint Project

Impressive.  Does she do custom decals?

That's a great project. I think if I was starting over I'd do a branch line.

Very nice but are you aware you used a gp35 and not a gp38. Lionel has yet to make a legacy gp38 or even a scale gp38 at this time.

But that's OK as the prototype photo that you posted is a GP35 anyway.

So much for my proofreading, Not sure where I came up with GP38.  Thanks for noticing.

I believe Christine does custom decals or so knows someone that does.  She has always been able to accommodate my requests.  Here is a link to another project she did for me.

I spent some time in Lubbock many years ago, and will refrain from commenting, other than to say that the names of some of the surrounding towns say a lot about the area: Brownfield, Levelland, and Plainview.  The West Texas Caprock is very flat and featureless.

Heard a quip from a guy once about being in Lubbock. He said that in Lubbock, when you stand up, you can see 10 miles. And if you stand on top of a tuna can, you can see 20. 

That's a nice story about the railroad painting one of their engines in Tech colors. It's nice to have railroad management that will consider such personal undertakings for the areas they work in. I can see why you wanted a model of the engine.

Lubbock was still Santa Fe country when I was there.
