So far the paint is done on red nosed units, i'm now working on getting decals that i've made over the past two days fitted to the unit, the number boards were the first one.

Now, if you know sp like i do, you know the locomotives rarely looked clean. so, How do you guys feel about these?

I know the daylight's nose is weird, im working on that as we speak, also another thing you might note is I added a texture underneath the paint so it doesn't look like a flat color, it gives it a little bit of depth and a metal texture.

*Disclaimer* I dont really know how to weather, so this is my first real attempt.

The weathering is a good start! She looks as if she's ready to be started up and start her day. Do you think you can make a "clean" version of the 6051 in her daylight colors as we do try to keep clean and shiny. Cleaning the outside of the windshield however is a major pain in the rear as we don't have all the rungs on the ladder, so it requires a 20 foot ladder to climb up on the hood and then position yourself so you don't slide off the end.

Done.

This mean there is 22 Units now. 9 In Bloody Nose, 9 In Daylight, 2 In Black Widow, 1 in Halloween, and finally 6051 in a museum set up, this final one i have a few details to work on such as exhausts.

I dont feel like it would be right if i made Non Driver units, that would bring the total up to 44. i think yall can survive without that.
