SD40-2 High Hood

[NW Modeling List]

Nice. 



Would the undec have the right truck frames for N&W? If not, I found on
their C39-8 locos, it wasn't too difficult to remove cab numbers on their
models using paper towel soaked in Walthers Solvaset, then use decals to
renumber them. Just cut the paper towel big enough to cover the graphic
you're removing. It takes about 15-20 minutes of good soaking to then
carefully rub off the old number without damaging the paint. Not sure about
removing the "NW" to replace it with other graphics. That's a lot more to
remove. That's when I break out the airbrush to paint out the old logo. 

 

Scaletrains number boards pop out fairly easily by prying it off with an
Xacto knife (held on with rubber cement?). The BACK of the number boards
have the graphics on them. After cleaning off the back of the number boards
with Solvaset, I used Shellscale decals on the front of them to get new
number boards that light up nicely.

 The society is currently discussing a pre-order method through the society
or purchasing this model as inventory for the Commissary.  It all depends on
the Scale Trains ordering deadline which will likely be in February.  Shane
Wilson of Scale Trains will advise me of the deadline later this evening.  

 

  Also, the high hood version is available as undecorated for those that
wish to apply the NS schemes or N&W Claytor scheme (F8).

Just got this from Scale Trains.  I am not an HO modeler, but thought I
would pass this on.
