That is one sweet loco Scott. So many nice details an very well
proportioned. The decals look awesome. I’m curious how you made them as I’ve
been searching for a good solution for my own decals. Great work.

Cale,
Thanks for the compliments! My process for making the stickers begins with
finding a good picture of the real sticker on the real train. Here is a
great source: http://www.railpictures.net/
After finding one that is a direct shot of the real sticker, I then spend a
lot of time in a Photoshop-like program to cut away the background, so that
only the sticker is left.
I usually will need to do a lot of touch-up work in Photoshop or the like to
get the coloring right, etc. Sometimes, I have to completely redraw the
sticker; using the original as a template, or color between the outside
lines.

www.railfonts.com should be helpful for the artwork for many railroads (but not
NS).

PS, echoing the others, nice locomotive.
