Well I must first apologize as this is a RTR model not a custom paint job but it belongs to a very good friend of mine and he wanted me to weather it for him. I kind of hate taking pictures because they really bring out the little flaws and stuff, don't worry this thing looks better in real life.........I hope....

I modeled this after UP 6148 ex SP 105. This old girl has seen many miles on the rails and ain't slowin' down for anybody. Despite fire damage, a new air conditioner, new tanks and new mu hoses on the rear she's still truckin'. I was really going for the "used and abused" look here.

P.S. My apologies to all you SP guys. I know this will be hard on you.

Except for passenger units, locomotives aren't supposed to look pretty. That model looks like its been doing what it was built for: hauling tonnage and earning revenue for SP UP. I like it.
