So my friend is making a route and needs some of those shaboomin shabangin good repaints. So uh this guy uh is pretty patient with this stuff so take your time, honestly I dont think he needs em, I'm jus doin extra. Any on to the details since I know you dont give a hoot. Anyway on to the details. I would like them to be done with the Great Northern Empire Builder's passenger cars, since they have the proper looks and details. I will provide images after the beep..........................oh. Sorry Harry, I forgot the beep.

I think that's certainly something doable.

I can't find a single prototype picture of this color scheme to see where to place the stripes between the windows. Need some help here please.

So the lighter gray above and below the windows and the darker gray between the windows.

I don't think this is going to work based on this model. Signs are not compatible with either Pullman or New York Central lettering.

The Empire Builder cars are a tough set to work with. Martin & I spent a day working on a skin for those cars and they require lots of knowledge on scripting and decal-making. Dick Cowan's lightweights might offer an easier job.

I suggest staying away from them honestly. It took me an entire day to add decals and script some nodes out of the mesh. They aren't fun to work with!
