Diesel locos
Central Vermont Paint Color
I'm actually planning to repaint and custom decorate diesel locomotives in Central Vermont Green & Yellow paint scheme from the 1980s. However, I have a hard time finding the right color.
Does anybody have an idea which color or mix is suitable for the CV Larson Green?

Painting engines
Just pondering things.
- Such as how hard is to paint engines
- Best paint to use
- And decaling
For example how hard would it be to replicate something like this?

Color matching different rail lines
Hi,
I model 7 yes seven different railroad lines. I’m currently trying to paint some of my own locomotive shells. But I am wondering if there is anyone who can help me with color matching. Here are my list of railroad lines: Union Pacific, Sante Fe, Southern Pacific, Burlington, Chessie System, B&O and Rock Island. I do not want to get into air brushing just aerosol, ie rattled cans. Can anyone help me?
Power Trucks for Blue Box Athearn Frames
I have a couple of these old Athearn Blue Box frames (40017 and similar) and I am looking to put some trucks on them. Will any of the modern Athearn power trucks fit on these frames, and which ones? Are there any non-Athearn trucks from another manufacturer that will fit on these frames?
Decals for number boards arrived!!!
This will be a couple of posts on adding decals to number boards. Bill Berlinger sent me a set for a locomotive I’m upgrading/updating. I thought I’d share the journey.

Dear MRHers, Matt H @ LokSound,
I've been pretty vocal previously about the ear-bleedingly obvious need for EQ in onboard sound decoders for some time now.
