Jon, yes, I did designate the scheme… It’s kind of a take from Rock Island’s ““The Rock”” paint scheme of the blue and white… However, I did make the Blue much darker than “The Rock”"… Lettering style was basically stolen from Southern Pacific’s Bloody Nose style, before they went to Speed lettering…

I had a GREAT time at the meet, my son loved it! Thats all he talked about when he got home, I was talking to Ric about coming out in May, and we kind of explained it to Cody what he would be doing(chasing cars all day) and when he got home he told his mom he had a great time at the lake, and next time he will be chasing cars, my wife loved it, thanks to your group for putting it on!!!

Andy’s engines turned out great! Looking at them with a very critical eye for flaws in the paint and really just couldn’t find any. Fred certainly has the touch. No orange peel, no uneveness of spray. I don’t actually think you could find a prototype with as good of paint job. Decals are installed the same way, very hard to see an edge. Fred does mighty fine work.
I especially like the “BS” logo on the engines… COULD NOT BE MORE APPROPRIATE IN REFLECTING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE LINE. 
They turned out beautiful and now need dirtied up, I went with black because I can’t weather worth a poop
