I guess I should update this thread. With the summer-like weather finally here the workshop has slowed down.
Anyway I started to decal the two engines and completed the Canadian National one this evening:

I used some vintage Accu-cals on it, managing to find some that work. Depending on how they were stored they will keep for years.
Looking at a number of photos I found that some of the lower stripes went over the handrail stantions and some did not. I opted for the later since it was easier than trying to form them over the stantions.

The front and rear stripes were a challenge since I had to slide them under the coupler cut bars but over the handrail stantions as well.


After the decals had set up I sprayed the engine down with Testors Glosscote again to blend the decals into the paint job. when that dries I'll give it one more spray with dulcote and then a light weathering. I'm about halfway through the decaling on the CPR engine and I should get that done soon
