Looking good! Nice, clean paint separation lines. What type/brand of tape did you use?

Please share your work with us when you are finished.

Thanks Craig and Bob,

As requested, still have a fair amount of work to do but coming along nicely! To answer the question its Tamiya Masking tape. GP10 is .23 tall and the GP35 is .28 tall the GP10 car body is shorter then the Second gen stuff once these are done a HH C420 is next on the docket to do.

I like the paint scheme.  :D It should weather very nicely too.

Looks like you a couple Paducah rebuilds in the fleet?

David,

There is a group of 10 rostered by the railroad. We have repainted two of them (Ex-ICG) units into the SNRY scheme. We catch a pair of them with a Ex-B&O GP9 coming out of the yard to hook onto a west bound road train. Have a Alco C420 in the early fazes of painting as well.
