Thanks!  Crazy that I knew exactly who you were talking about.  I emailed him the other day about possibly making me some more numbers, I did not know he had another set on ebay.  Also, I ordered a set of the Highball Graphic warning labels.  Now I just need to figure out the exact locations in which they go!

Thank you for that information!

I'm thinking this is the route I will go, along with stripping the shell.  Once the book I ordered with the diesel detail parts comes, I may be adding more details that will need primered.

 

Remember whatever approach you use, there will be a learning curve involved, so why not go with the least expensive instead of jumping in when you don't need to yet - unless you're made of money .  Some folks here seem to think nothing of throwing money at their hobby; i like solving problems as inexpensively as possible, and my RR will stand up quite well compared to most and has been featured by my local NMRA Division (a predominately N & HO group of which i'm not even a member) 3 times on their layout tours. As one of my Scottish friends always says, "Money is a lot easier to save than it is to earn".


Great way to look at it, thank you!

I watched your video above, looks good!  I love the couple buildings where the flashing pool sign is (what building is that???)  Are they just building fronts?

 
Another thing here, how do you guys remove the windows?  These seem to be glued in and I've tried to gently seperate them from the shell, but it looks like they may be starting to crack a little.
