On my workbench...SD-9 "Ford City Northern"

I hope that you know Jerry Gundersons "Ford City Northern Railway" http://www.fcnrwy.mysite.com/
I got some decals to decorate surplus cars and even a locomotive in his scheme, the original gray is SP Lark Gray so I decided to use Tamiya Navy gray on this unit, the cab isn't painted because it will get sunshades, a beacon and allweather windows before painting.
The locomotive is an Atlas/Kato SD-9, originally painted for Conrail (Ed, forgive me) but with the help of several nice guys from Atlasforum I could collect a nice bunch of SD-7/SD-9 bodyshells...I'm not sure if I leave the battery boxes in CR blue or spary them also gray...have to sleep about that...
The decals are custom made by Jerry so there will follow nose striping in blue,blue striping on the sill unit plus the cab number and the numberboards but I thought it would be nice to see...
