Re: 463 detail pics

The only stencil used so far has been the "463" on the side of the cab. We also sent a correct "D&RGW" and "K-27 for the cab," as well as a proper font for the headlight and 16" rear-of-tender decal. From 10 feet away it's hard to tell, but I hope they get put to use eventually.

I'm glad John and crew found time to fix the cab number, as to me it changes the entire look of the locomotive. It also looks like she got a bit darker smokebox, which contrasts nice against the bright silver.

Now I just need to show up with my airbrush and give her a nice dusting of dirt, grime and soot
