I tried to hand paint the herald and numbers on decal film.
Ready for lights and handrails.

thanx CNVIATyco,
You're new to the forum and I appreciate the time you took to post a comment.
I hope you'll share some of your Tyco projects too.
I just bent and added the hand rails.
Sorry about the lack of track or something interesting.
I think this, BSGN ALco looks good when lashed up with the other Alco tributes, the Canadiana and the QSR Alco, three Tycos I'll probably never find.

Looks great, what size wire did you use to bend for the handrails?

Thanks Mike.
I believe its 022 piano wire from our LHS.
I lucked into about 8 pakages of OE stanchions on the 'bay a while back.

Thanks Walt.
Here's a chance to compare it with an original Big Sky Alco I just received.

That's amazing free hand, AF. It's sort of like a graffiti artist added the roadname & logo.
