Guys, Here is a model of the Central Of Georgia SD40-2 228 that I built for a good friend of mine. Although the CofG did not own any of these units, the Central paint scheme looks very good on this model. Comments??  Bob |

Bob, it looks great to me. Too bad they didn't have any, they would be impressive rolling by.

Nice work Bob. Looks like you get to play indirectly dabble in protofreelancing.

I prefer modern locos, but there is something about the high-hoods. Especially when clad in a neat paint scheme.

Because of the corporate structure of Southern Railway the CofG did in fact own SD40-2s... they just were not painted in the classic scheme. Definitely a beautiful locomotive model!!!

Definitely a beautiful locomotive model !!!Guys, thanks for all the positive comments made about the CofG SD40-2. I built the model for a good friend that is president of the model railroad club (MGRA) in Macon, Ga. Their club has a modular layout and they set up at several different functions each year and since Macon was a central point for the Cof G, people that come to see their layout in action love to see Central models in action on the layout and what better model is there for that than a Kato powered locomotive. Have a great day!! |

Definitely a natural look. I'm currently pottering if the ex-SOU high nose SD40-2 I've just made should be painted like this and not in NS black?

I disagree. I love NS black and white; think it looks classy but this scheme is superb and will add a nice bit of colour to my roster. I think I'll do it just as soon as I can get the paint and decals. Sent from my GT-I9100 using proboards |

Would love it if they were to adopt the original NS paint scheme, myself.

I'm a huge fan of NS black as well. Funnily enough, I really like the ol' NW black with white lettering even more.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using proboards Let me know when you are ready to paint your model and I'll send you the paint mixture that I used for the Blue and Gray. It will be the same color mix that I sent Athearn for use on their Genesis CG F-units. BTW, the colors I use are mixed using Floquil for the Blue and SCII for the Gray. |
