Jerome's Switcher Roster

[kbkchooch]

Karl, Rick, I'm still waiting for decals from your home roads so I can do up a couple of those for me!!!

The smallest thing the MMID has are GP9's, no switchers! WM had switchers, but none from EMD!
Thats why I wanted the A&P unit to start with!
BUT
If its decals you want, I'll get you a Midland set!

Karl, well that's always a first!!!

OK, first 2 got their sills, walkways and handrails painted black and glossed. Decals will be next for these 2.

What's going on here? Jerome, have you painted or metal blackened the treadplates and steps? Is it easier to paint them before installing?

Paul

 

[wheeler1963]

Paul, I usually paint them before installing the tread plates.

No undecorated though. Might have to repaint a B&M model to get what I want.
