Hey if you already are that far along go for it. I'll switch and do a CN version.

I was not doing well working with the decals and removing the numbers from the side and front so far. I am not as far in as you are. Please carry on with it.

Don't bother doing a "clean" or "new" version for the CN and CP liveries.
I grew up in the 70s playing in the CN and CP freight yards.
There's never been a clean Alco. They came new from the factory already blackened with soot and rusted and belching smoke like the power plant was on fire.

Buzz, would you mind sending me the same info? I have started teaching myself repainting and this is something I'm having a really hard time with. Also, what tool are you using to do the actual painting?
