I have just aquired six N Scale CSX locomotives. There is one SD50, one Dash8-40C, two Kato SD40-2s, one GP40 and one AC4400CW. I have never modeled nor painted nor stripped a CSX engine, nor am I familiar with the line, since I mostly deal with BNSF, SP and UP. I am not a big fan of this "Bright Future" paint scheme with the gray bodies. But I absolutely love the way the "Dark Future" locomotives look with less yellow and completely blue bodies, yellow only on the nose and the very rear of the long hood. I want to paint these engines in the Dark future scheme and I have a few questions for those that are familiar with the line.
1.- Are the blues in the bright and dark futures the same blue?
2.- The yellow, same question as #1?
3.- The front and back porch and walkways are different colors on the two SD40-2s. Which one is correct? If both are correct (some prototypes having diff. colors n stuff) which one looks cooler?
4.-What is the lightning for?
5.-I love the way this SD70M looks. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=112290
Maybe I should add CSX to my engine collection, as long as its in the Dark Future paint. What do you guys/gals think?
