Another one of my children lives one!Wow Paul. I almost forgot about that one.Is that slug powered?
The line's NP painted units (GP8 1352 and GP9 1363) are really sharp and contrast greatly with the two painted in RailAmerica red, silver and blue. Too bad they didn't do all of their units in the NP paint scheme. Here are some links to the NP painted units...http://rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=135765http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=56365
Great stuff, guys.But, this ripped my heart out:I scratched/bashed UP50 between 2003 and 2006.I shipped the shell to a highly praised loco painter in California for a paint job and weathering, with a pair of ConCor U50s and a 'parts only' ConCor "Veranda" as payment.He posted a shot of my shell painted in an SP 'black widow' scheme a couple weeks later, then disappeared. I never saw any of it again, and the Fresno PD and USPS were far from helpful.
If you like I will send you a copy of the "birth certificate" -- which is basically some e-mails we exchanged in which you described how you did it, along with 3 or 4 pix to illustrate.
