Hi all - First off, I can't believe what a gold mine I've stumbled onto with this site. No wonder it's after 11PM on a Sunday and I'm still up reading all the posts! Quick background: I've been an avid plastic modeler for several years and have gotten fairly adept at painting and weathering technigues on airplanes, armor, etc. I have recently decided to try building a DCC model railroad in my basement. One idea 've been tossing around is creating a fictionalized 1950's era Door County, Wisconsin passenger line and was hoping to learn more about painting undecorated locos and stock. Your posts have been a great help in answering several questions I had, but one still remains: Do any of you ever paint the undecorated locos and stock like the type that Walthers sells? If so, is it fairly easy and straightforward to disassemble them for spraying? Is there any specific brand manufacturer you'd recommend? I ask since most of the posts I read seem to mention painting locos and cars with already-existing paint schemes, and having to strip the paint, etc.
Thanks for the info!
