Thanks, Mark.

One more engine.
Atlantic Coast Line R-1 4-8-4. Model was made in 1977 by Overland models.
Decided to paint this engine since it, also, has a gray boiler.
DC tested to insure a good 'runner'.
'Tower' type gear assembly. Motor is large enough! Looks like a Sagami.
Added another deck plate. Already had a back head.
Disassembled, taped and ready to be painted.
First coat. Usual 2 hours at 200 degrees.
Wheels 'air' dry. No screws to disassemble the tender trucks so painted as a 'unit'.
Since the whole boiler is gray including cab, etc, I was tempted to just paint the boiler gray but decide to add black first; Black always gives a nice base coat and will insure one 'tone' of gray appears on all surfaces.
Something I never used when I was young and stupid (now I'm old and stupid!) including latex gloves. Even in a 24'X28' detached shop with doors open, the mask filters lots of air.
