IHB SW1500 switchers
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 11:48 pm
Hi All. I have a collection of Athearn Blue Box SW1500s and following my recent leaning from New England to Chicago area I've decied to look at getting these locos decorated in one of the IHB switcher schemes. I'm looking at both the recent schemes, the current Tennessee Orange and the earlier dark scheme (not sure if it is very dark green, dark grey or black!)
I'm looking for any ideas for a source of decals, the Microscale ones seem to be 1950's onwards so might be OK for the dark scheme but I'm not sure if they are Ok for the current scheme. I'm also after any recommendations for suitable base colours to get the livery started.
Any suggestions would be very useful. Thanks in advance.
