AFTER

Beginning with a trip to the Download Station, I was able to find an "undecorated" SD45 with the high nose that N&W favored.  Applying blue with yellow lettering was fairly straightforward.

I did not find any undecorated SD40, but I did find one in Southern "tuxedo" scheme.  This was difficult, in that I had to first get rid of the stripes without losing details like the hood door outlines.

Alco's famous PA-1 was the next task; again, removing the NYC lettering without losing rivets and other details was the major challenge.

To go with the PA-1, I did a set of passenger cars, using silver ATSF cars as the basis.

Finally, a virtual version of RS-1 number 42 was in order.  This engine is pictured on wpandp.com, in the Timetable section.  The starting point was in SOO livery, which proved to be difficult to paint over.

Life is busy in the yard, as the two big six-axle deisels in N&W blue wait their turn.  Meanwhile, RS-1 number 42 is busy switching.

The blue passenger train is ready to leave the station, and we follow along as it gets going.
