Made great progress on 1127. She received her full paint job and most of her decals. Will need to order a decal sheet of letters to add the "MBTA" and "1127" to her sides as well as the American flag decals that are placed on the cabs. Handrails are on the way, those will have to be a custom fit. Going to install ditch lights once the proper "pyle" style lights arrive. I used Scalecoat's brand new MBTA purple spray paint, it's a beautiful color and a fantastic match to the real thing. That F40PH that's hiding behind 1127 will eventually become MBTA 1016, a classic F40 that doesn't require lengthening.
Overall, so far so good and quite a dramatic transformation from being BNSF 3030!
