Love the striping!

[slick204]

That's a good start. I looked at those when researching the NP unit; lots of stripes!
The ones over the radiator inlet should be interesting.

They should align properly. Let me know if they don't.

They should align properly. Let me know if they don't.

The CP rail script livery lined up fine, so I don't expect any issues. the only thing that is a little bit of a headache, is that the nose and the sides are slightly different in scale, so the stripes are'nt the same width.

Progress report;

I know the hard way to stripe the side and the front...aww...yes it's a little bit puzzle work. Especially if you doing curves. If you don't want the stripes going higher on the frame of the vent doors, cut them off there and let the frame in the base color, or puzzle them in the right height.
But as always it looks very nice Mike.

History for the railfan; CB&Q received 9 of these in 1943 and 1944 as an assignment from the war board. They were the only ALCo diesels the Q owned. All 9 were traded to EMD for newer GP series locos in 1967 and subsequently scrapped for parts.

Rich worked his fingers to the bone aligning the stripes through the radiator. The results are nice, call it completed.

Wow - really nice. And I can't imagine the fun in aligning those stripes.

[MadMike1024]

Dang mouses breed like rabbits!

[slick204]

Nice! I was wondering if you would do those. Now about the synchronized exhaust...
