I got a spectacular deal on a pair of N-scale E-8's this past weekend.
Unfortunately, they need to be stripped, painted & decaled for CB&Q,
which will give me something to do instead of hibernating this winter.
I would appreciate your expert advice concerning the following:
1. what is the best paint to use to get the burnished aluminum effect
that E-8's had?
2. where am I going to get a couple of Micro Scale 60-98 decal sets?
(The sources I have checked already include, in no particular order: 2
local hobby shops within a Saturday morning's drive of home, Micro
Scale, Walthers, Internet Model Trains, Discount Trains On-line, and
Feather River Trains)
3. replacing the front & rear couplers on these Life-Like models with
MTL front pilot couplers MTL #1021 (001-02-021), and rear couplers MTL
#1129 (001-30-013) as recommended or #1130 (001-30-014) as an
alternative.
Thanks,
Paul
