Re: (erielack) Request for opinions concerning EL SD60M
Answer: design your own... some yellow (or maroon) decal film sheets
would work. I keep picturing this in my head with the entire yellow 'bib'
on the front of the nose, and not wrapping to the sides of the unit. But
once you have one you like, perhaps someone who makes decals can make you a
few sets (hmm, do we know anyone who does that?). I think I'd just
concentrate on the shape and position and add the herald etc. from an
existing decal set once I had one I liked.
I have to wonder if the tall maroon band some of the Trainmaster's got would
work on one of these, too.
Incedentally with all the used SD50's out there it's a wonder one of them
hasn't ended up in EL or some other old paint scheme yet, just for fun -
