Figured it was update time. Got the black paint on the front pilot, trucks and fuel tank. The paint didn't adhere well to the edges of the trucks so I bought a synthetic brush (which is what I think you're supposed to use) to touch it up once I decant some paint. The steps may need some too. Just need to paint the black on the rear pilot, the stripe in the middle of the body plus the small gold line under that and the body should be done paint wise (minus touch up). Clear coating is making me pause and think because I want to seal the paint for the sake of the silver enamel paint but I also like the shine the black laquer gives off. Loksound finally came so once I dissasemble the trucks to touch them up and re-assemble it for the last time, I should be able to permanently install the decoder. Bought and Athearn decoder thinking the Plug-And-Play wouldn't be compatible (don't know why) but this ones got bigger solder pads so there is less risk of this first timer crossing something when I install the lights (or anything else). More to come. ~Nico

That turned out very nice.
Are you going to add a side number to the cab or hood.
Love the horn also.
