DTG GP40-2 re-paints

[harryadkins]

Is this the same model Jerry released on his VRC website? If so, does his reskinning kit still work?

No, this is the DTG GP40-2 pack that was just released. I do know that the VRC version comes in multiple versions including the BN with properly located autonumbering. These would have to be manually numbered.

CP?

Oddly enough; Amtrak back in the good old days had leased a few gp40-2's although intended more for yard work and MOW trains they did see some limited use alongside their car-body counterparts. These engines were given gear swaps to match the f40ph's which essentially turned them into a basic f40ph without HEP.

Numbers were 650-664

I was just thinking about Amtrak's GP40-2s. I support this.

Looks good buzz! I think that the red could stand to be a darker shade though. Just a suggestion. You might also make a version with the beaver logo at the rear of the longhood.

It's solid color he told himself. This should be a simple be simple repaint he said to himself. Two weeks later still painting bits and pieces hidden in obscure locations. Hopefully done soon.

Looking great Buzz...

[BoostedFridge]

Coming along nicely Buzz! These will fit in well on the Soo Route, or CMP.

The old "How hard could it be?" irony never gets old.

Along with the "What can go wrong?"

I forgot the "Watch this" and "Hold my beer."
