Reply to "Metra roll call!!!!"

So here is my version of Metra's express paint job in "Metra Oceanside Blue".

I could not get the Amtrak lettering off with light sanding so I masked off everything except the old Amtrak blue swatch. Then hit with a rattle can of Testors deep dark blue.

Again using an already designed HO circuscitydecal set resized to O scale, was able to come up with Unit #77.

The unit is an old Amtrak Pacific Surfliner F59PHI MTH Railking 5V PS2 unit.

I basically went off what I saw on Metra's facebook page and a video on YouTube. Real life units have black painted trucks but I'm leaning towards keeping it silver for now.

Here is a screenshot of the video already on YouTube of the real life units #73 & #77. Not sure how I feel about those black trucks.
