Here is my other All Nation project, picked up a nice NW2 with all metal gear drive, beautifully built and unpainted. She will become one of Monon's NW2's with silver trucks and the black and gold paint scheme. Basing the model off this prototype picture taken in Hammond, IN. Might set my switching layout in this same area of Indiana. I have the horn and nicely done/jeweled class lights masked off. I also removed the bell. Laid down several nice light coats of Testors model master gold. Already dry to the touch, curing in the sunlight on our classic IH Cub Cadet. Will mask with Tamiya masking tape in a couple days and lay down the black. Need to stop at Hobby Lobby and pick up a can of the same brand paint in black. The drive chassis is on my bench to get serviced while its out of the model. I am looking for suggestions on lenses for the golden glow headlights. I like the ones that came with the AN models, but I didn't get them with this one, so I have nothing to put in the headlights. No I do not want LED's as they, IMHO, do not capture the look of the early bulb style lamps. MV lenses are ok, but a PITA to get to turn out right. Anybody got the stock All Nation glass like lenses that fit this model? Mike the Aspie
