For those who don't know, Circus City is producing GLC decals in N and HO. I've got a sheet, while you have to be fairly decent at decals for this (they're not very simple), this is a great opportunity for those of us who wanted a unit or two (or 5 or 6...)
Thanks for the heads up on these. 2 N scale sheets arrived yesterday. Have you started one yet? Curious what color blue you used.
Another project on the stack. This one may actually get done though.

Well, I'm lazy, so I don't have an airbrush. (I know, I know...it's on the list!)
So I used the "Gloss Bright Blue" spray acrylic by Testors, it ended up looking good and perfect for laying decals over it. I still need to do the stripes, but I've got everything else done. These are nice decals!
(I'll put a picture...somewhere when I'm finished. Doing 395 now.)

Blue is going on a GP-35 this afternoon. Nice day for painting outside. I'm not an airbrush painter either, so I have to rely on good weather. Hopefully 385 will be up and running this week-end. Then on to some GP-38's.

385 is mostly done. Here's a short video of her. Not the best job, but I figure in N scale, who will notice. 2 GP-38's have just been painted and are waiting to dry. Decals went on nice and easy. Maybe one day I'll clean off the layout and actually run trains more than a few minutes at a time.

I can tell what it is so I'd say looks pretty good
