Well I went and found an old Athearn shell in the parts box. I used a pencil eraser. Here's the end result.
Probably best to replace the reporting marks on my other unit. The box latches hold what's left over of the number or even close to a latch. The reporting marks are on really smooth...
The numbers. Or I could actually change the reporting marks on it as well. The number belongs to a B&O unit. Or I could keep it C&O and change the number.
I inspected the loco again. I guess the numbers and the sort are painted on. Best guess would be to paint over what I want changed then? Or is there another way?
I know the older BB locomotives were painted. You can tell on my SD40s and my lone U23B. The ones on my GP40 however I'm not so sure about. It just seems different. I guess they could be painted on as well.
Good morning fellers. I hope everyone is doing well. It's finally Friday. Nothing new to really report on. I figured I would at least stop by and say hi. That's all I have for now. Hope everyone has a good day.
Evening fellers. I hope everyone is doing well. Coming to the end of our short heat wave here. Back to fall weather this weekend. I received my order today from hornby. They carry the airfix kits that I enjoy putting together. I'll be adding a FW190 to my list. But first I'll finish my P51. I...
This is where my desire to model a GP38 came from. I stumbled onto this a long while ago. Don't know if I want to try and modify and old yellow box atlas shell though.

Morning fellers. I hope everyone is well. Have to get tires installed on my wife's car this morning. The price of that endeavor is enough to make me dependent on antacids. Stumbled on something I forgot I even had yesterday. I found a decal sheet for c&o and b&o units. If I remember correctly I...
Afternoon fellers. I hope everyone is doing well. Can't believe it's October already.....I finished my first American airplane today. The decals were a pain!!! Not to mention they are really thick as well.
Here's my completed P-40N. I might touch it up some with paint but it's good as is. My...
From digging here. The pilot was Major Helmut Wick. He was commander of 1 Gruppe/Jagdeswader 2. The R stands for Richthofen. The Red Barron. This unit saw a lot of action during the battle of Britain. The Spitfire MK1 I put together belongs to the pilot who shot down Maj Wick. The English pilot...
