Subject: [CBQ] Paint & Decals for E-Units
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
