I thought I'd just post my modelling attempts at building the BNSF roster here:

Feel free to comment on anything that doesn't look right or if it does look right.

Nice paint on the BN and the swoosh.
I still have problems with painting silver. Any advise?

Thanks Roland,
Ummm silver paint is a PAIN !!
I'm never really satisfied with it, I just keep spraying until it looks ok then stop and if I have to I'll give a few light coats once its dry, but I do have a lot of trouble with it. I know Tamiya silver goes on a lot better. I've been using Badger Modelflex and a Iwata Revolution air brush.

Cool, more interesting bashes! :)

Did BNSF use the pale blue when they renumbered the MNCR loco or was that the colour it was originally ?
