T55 is passing off there ES44AC's as DC's, I guess they don't want to have the DC doors below the rad to look like the real ES44DC's, just look at pics of the real GEVO's if you think I'm wrong.

Sorry I have not updated much, ran out of money! I'll have to finish off the rear section re-work, then prime it, so I can bring it to WPM with me...

Can't wait to see it painted. It is looking good so far. I will be following this. Glenn

Hey Jbaakko,
I was just reading through this post and saw the line about using a dremel plastic wire wheel brush. I had the same idea a while back. While it can help in some tight areas, it can also cut right into the plastic as well. I only have a 3 speed unit, so my slowest speed is still hight rpms, but the same applies. I'd go lightly.
oh by the way, I stripped my t55 in 91% alcohol & brake fluid, then chamelion stripper and the paint is still a bit stubborn. Maybe because I used the other stuff first? Could I ask what you used?

I used Scalecote II Wash Away. It has to be in the stripper forever to get it all off, and at that the paint sometimes stains the plastic (not that that matters though).

I was going to maybe guess a NS Gevo. Looking forward to see this come to shape. I see Kevin spotted the Gevo factors, that was the 1st Gevo text I saw!
