I'm mainly planning on fixing some of the details I'm rather nit-picky about, such as inaccurate tender truck colors, and fix some areas where paint was slightly chipped when I received the engine. I also have been planning a new railroad (who knows if it'll ever come to fruition, but planning is always fun) and I'd love to reletter this engine for the railroad as well as alter the name. I'm also looking into adding a single-phase air pump on one side, and I think it might look very smart painted black with some blue and gold detailing on that.

It's all more along the lines of the hypothetical, however if I do decide to go through with it I just figured it'd be wise to ask in advance. As for decals, I've been trying to decide between using the available golden alphabet decals most online suppliers have, or if I want to try and find a custom decal company, such as http://www.railgraphicsdecals.com/home.html or another. I've also been debating between dry transfers and normal decals, as dry transfers seem much easier and forgiving- however normal decals are more readily available, especially for use on locomotives.

It's a wonderful engine, runs fantastic. Incredibly quiet as well, which is very nice.

Hello!

I'm here trying to find out about the new tooling American 4-4-0, namely the Jupiter paint scheme. I was wondering if anybody, Bach-Man included, knows the paint used for the blue as well as the red. I've been able to find some close blue matches, such as Federal Standard #15080, however Model Master 1972/1772 enamels seem fairly
close as well.



Please let me know if anybody here knows, thanks!
