Under The Hood: Wherein I Give a Postwar NYC 221 Dreyfuss A Bloody Nose!

Remember the foofaraw when Walthers offered Conrail steam engine decals and AHM offered a Conrail steam engine?

Fast forward several decades to a few days ago, when I was watching an NYC documentary on YouTube. The narrator mentioned that the streamlined Dreyfus Hudsons ran with special streamlined cars. "Gee," I thought. "I have that rather grungy 221 sitting around. Too bad the only streamlined cars I have are Amtrak..."

At this point, an Evil Idea occurred to me.

And one set of Champ decals from eBay later...

This is, of course, a work in progress. To be done: Decal the other side, spray with clear gloss and reassemble...

More pics after I get everything done!
