Reply to "GGD Considering Lightweight Train Offerings in S Scale"

Scott Mann - Thank you for the update on that GGD can offer undecorated and Amtrak sets/cars in S. One question - when it comes to a stainless steel passenger car in 'undecorated' would it come painted to simulate the stainless finish, be plated or a natural aluminum finish? This question applies to Budd equipment and Pullman-Standard cars with the fluted lower sides.

IIRC in a thread regarding your O-scale passenger cars GGD prefers to paint the "stainless steel" finish as it can be more consistent in appearance when placing different production runs next to each other compared to plating. Think there was mention of controlling the plating quality and rejection rate of same were factors too.

I assume any undecorated smoothside equipment would need primer and paint which is understood.

Only asking so I know what you mean by undecorated on GGD passenger cars.

Personally a painted finish is best for me - I never cared for the highly chromed look that plated equipment has.
