Nice. I like double dome tanks, and when I was a kid, the SP had older tanks in oxide red for MW work.

It's the closest color of Floquil I had to the prototype with the dry transfers that I am going to use for these two cars... :mrgreen:

I'm going to make a wild guess that the dry transfers come from Clover House? I'll be interested to find out what road liveried their cars in that color.
On a different note; what is provenance of the bolsters you're using? Nice underbody as usual.

Masters are derived from a pair of bronze castings that I picked up in a box of goodies. Thanks!

I'm getting a dark turquoise. Looking forward to seeing the finished product as this color ought to really set of the dry transfers. Nice job!!!!
