It's done!!! I wrapped up the Monongahela GP38 tonight. The decal art is from John Cubbin. I sized it accordingly to fit under the cab per the prototype. There are a number of difference form the P&LE including the handrail colors, and the silver window frame. I really like the look of this loco. With the P&LE, it is the perfect sister loco! Thanks everyone for the input!!! If you would like a set of decals, just let me know. I will send you a set with both the P&LE and the Mon art. Rob Hi Rob Looks Great. Tried to send you a personal message twice , you never answered . I need enough to do 5 engines for now maybe more later.Were you able to do the smaller M for the nose of the engine and caboose? Thanks Bob

When it comes to strip or not to strip I first consider the paint already applied.If it is thick (like the old Bachmann paint) it is an automatic strip. If it is a decently applied single colour and it will not clash with the new colour I will just remove the lettering and repaint.From what I have seen on the GP 38 the paint is very good so only lettering needs to go. I am though waiting for the undecs for some custom paint work. Though this is off subject consider this my vote for a new shell with out dynamic brakes even if it is simply a replacement shell. Hi Catt I was thinking about just painting over it.Seems to be a thin coat on the AZL caboose .But I thought .I 'd better ask you young pups that ,since you have been doing this for awhile. Thanks Bob

Thanks Dom and CJ No doubt slowly but sure our complaining or begging for undec's is coming threw. The other guy's did produce some undec's in cars and caboose and had for awhile some engine shells.Bought a few ,but they ran out on engines. CJ sounds like I 'm in for a 8 hr shift of work. Wonder if pays good. LOL No just kidding .Thanks for the break down and good points on how to strip the paint.

I've not had to much experience on painting ,or repainting . Should I strip the paint before painting? What do you use to remove the paint that won't harm the plastic? What few I have done is with nondec models so I never had this issue of stripping before painting . Z scale doesn't offer much in nondec engines and cars.
