Thanks guys In my world these are not ex SP locos. As the Royal Gorge was originally part of the D&RGW, it also placed orders for these locos |

Well its good to be in your own little world!! I think its great to have a good back story for a proto freelance railroad I think it really adds the extra since of realism. Keep up the good work sarge!

Sarge,
THOSE ARE BRIGHT...I really like them. Do you make your own decals or have outshopped this project. Also, do you have plans to have fully operating light packages, or are these shelf models?

Greg, I make my own decals. I still need to make some more for these. I plan to light them eventually, havn't ventured into that area yet. I don't have anywhere to run them or DCC so that part might be awhile. They havn't been dulled yet  Anthony, Yeah it will get dirty I am going to experiment with the old models I did to play around with the colors/amount of dirt effects I want before I do that one. |

I don't think so. as of right now anyway, this one represents an early 80's version. The 45 will represent a late 90's version.

you can't see it in the pics, but there are some areas that just didn't go as smooth as I wanted. They are probably fine, I am just being picky. |

If you hadn't sealed it yet then change them or do them over.
