[N] C44-9W BNSF 4912

[Ridgeline]

Hey all,

I see the modern GE forum doesn't move as fast as the EMD so I thought I'd share some of my recent work. The engine is BNSF 4912, a C44-9W. I realize there are some inconsistencies between the model and the prototype, but things like the cab windows don't appear to have a reasonable solution. A few touch-ups are pending, and then weathering will be applied.

Paint is ModelFlex. Decals are Microscale. Details are BLMA.

Yes, the "punkin" scheme is one of my most favorite of the current prototype paint schemes, which you have carried off nicely, Andy!

Nice work on that -9,the only GE I really like,but I would like to see that leasing SD90MAC if you wouldn't mind posting a pick of it?

Great paint job, although I have to admit, I like the Shoosh scheme better than the "Pumpkin" scheme.

And at least you didn't do it in the "swoosh" scheme! ;D

Robert, funny you should mention that... ;D I've got an SD70ACe en route, which I'm going to finish in the BNSF Swoosh livery.

Anthony, I'd love to... She's not finished either, but I'll make a thread for her shortly....

Both above, Robert T, and Andrew: thank you for the kind words.

Great job Andy, this is N scale isn't it. Glenn

[mrlfan]

Never mind the question about scale from the previous post I see it is now. Glenn

[Ridgeline]

Glenn, just to be thorough: The engine arrived as an undecorated N scale Kato C44-9W.

[mrlfan]

Andy thanks for the clarification on that. Glenn

I added a few more details and put 4912 right to work... I'm still waiting on reflector stripe and data decals, but I think that's all there is left to add...
