I was thinking about buying locomotives and repainting them in roads that don't come manufactured. Does anyone know how to paint locomotives? I want to know how to do it and what kind of paints to use and how much it can potentially cost me without the price of the locomotive as that can be...

Wowthat's nice, but I still wouldn't get a life-like though. Walther's makes Life-like. Life-like has the quality of a toy. Walthers locomotives are ok, but their motors die over time. Like the bowser mechanism, both ends of the real Boeing LRVs drive. The pantograph can work in either...

Umm. I am not aware of Life-like making a F40PH in MBTa colors. Life-Like is made by Walthers. Also, the Phase 1 paint scheme was only for the Screamers (F40PH, they don't have seperate HEP generators) They are numbered 1000 t0 1017 so make sure that it is numbered as such. Could you link...

Use the railroad depot purple. The Walthers purple is too pink. If you look at the photographs you liked to, the Walthers look way off. If you do decide to repaint your comets, repaint them in that shade of purple. Same thing with the F40PHs and your GP40MC if sucessful. No sketches of the...

The CTC-3s (1500s) are German made cars. They were made by MBB (Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm GmbH) (A german aircraft company). They are not comets. The german cars have bigger windows than the comets and are restroom equipped. They are also 6 inches narrower (3 inches on each side) than the...

Also, if you do decide to get the Bowser undercarriage, know this. They forgot a few key things in it. They didn't include places where you can hook up wires for the pantograph or the headlights that came with the original chassis. The only way to hook them up is to take it apart and do...

Here's a picture of the paint scheme Everything is straight lines except for the part on the nose. If you cut the masking tape right, you can easily paint that. Or, you can eyeball it and fix it with rubbing alcohol if you mess up. For the numbers, you can either get decals or paint them...

To paint a GP40Mc or a F40PH-2C, ust use masking tape. The stripes on the GP40MC are all straight lines so if you cover some parts with masking tape, paint, wait for it to dry, cover the other parts and paint again, it will work. The Walthers MBTA coaches ARE availible. Trainworld.com has...

I shot the photo of the geep through a fence as it was going by (I was walking down to yawkey station to catch an outbound. That train was an inbound) I know someone who kitbashed a GP40MC from an Athearn GP40X and a Kaslo cab. The center truck on the Boeing will derail on any curve less...

hello, I am new to this forum and found this thread through google. It's kind of weird how the GP40MC picture you linked to was the one I took :P I live in Boston and I think that your attempt to model North Station is looking very good! About the LRV. The manufacturer of the LRV, Mehano/IHC...
