I'm the midst of painting a NW/NS C39-8 as originally delivered. (In fact, I'm aiming for 8551, which was one of the two C39-8 prototypes, apparently bought by NS.) The model has a cab with details. What colors should they be painted?

I've never been in a modern GE. I know that older C&O Geeps have a "hospital green" interior, and I have a picture of a N&W T-6 cab that was kind of cream colored for the most part. But in general this is something I've never, ever thought about before!

I have had my Surroundtraxx operational for some time now. Being an N Scaler, I am pleased and excited with the addition to my layout. Not everyone flavors sound but I do. It adds to the depth of operating and for me, adds to the realism of running my trains. It provides each locomotive with its own character.

Over the past couple of months I've been working on and off on a few detailing projects for myself and a friend of mine.  First up is a Walthers Horizon cab car factory painted for Septa that I detailed for my friend.

She who must be obeyed has agreed an extension to my small room layout.  As can be seen in the drawing & photo below, (apologies for wonky tracks but I am still getting to grips with Scarm) the extension measures approximately 7 ft x 18”.  The extension is sitting in the back corner of the room and 2ft of the extension will be in the room closet with a small hole in the wall to allow the tracks to pass through.
