Slow but steady getting to the finish line. Cab numbers added today

I didn't post pics here last night, but started on my 2 GP15s. Will be added to the fleet in York. One is lettered for YorkRail, the other for Toledo, Peoria & Western. TP&W you ask ? Well, there are 2 TP&W units currently assigned to the YorkRail property. They are both Genesee & Wyoming companies. GP15's make up the entire fleet now. TruColor paints, and a mix of Fusion Scale Graphics, Switch Line decals, Highball Graphics and Microscale decals were used for these. I still need to add road numbers, numberboards and try to get smaller Zero Injuries logo for the TPW unit, ones provided on decal sheet are too large. Similar size to the one on the Atlas YRC unit are needed.

I forgot I had a set of AIM weathering powders, so I grabbed one of my new Tangent Scale Models CSX hoppers.

While I start working on the helix, im thinking about shooting some switching videos, building trains in the yards for various jobs on the YorkRail side of the layout. My video skills are not good, so dont expect any Oscar worthy performances 😆. Of course, this is all work dependent, as thats what pays the bills.

Posting on layout updates will be somewhat sporadic as work is taking away my modeling time. Hopefully I'll get back to the basement soon !
