I'm competent weathering a locomotive model. I want to do two or three locomotives for an ISL. I also want to keep intact he majority of the basic (factory) paint scheme for each model, including the road number.
Please, I'd like to know the best way to "patch" a locomotive. Are there decals that can be used? In the past I have totally repainted locomotive models, but this time I'm interested in replicating some of the patch jobs I've seen the past twenty years or so. After detailing a model, I understand there will be touch-up required. The idea is to represent locomotives that the original (or last) road's scheme are easily identifiable, yet instantly recognizable as belonging to a new owner.
What do y'all do along these lines? Thanks! Ric
