I've taken the plunge and re-sprayed my Bachmann 08, using Railmatch blue and pre '83 yellow. Once it was dry I sprayed a coat of gloss varnish so the decals should adhere better, but I have a problem: I'm not sure the yellow is right.
Compared to my other locos, it is a different colour altogether, a lot paler and less orangy, but compared to a photo of the real 08850, it isn't too bad!
I know, of course that the reference photos are takein in daylight, and so the glare and lighting will be different. I'm tempted to put the wasp stripe decals on and hope that the brightness is then subdued by being broken up (and satin varnished/weathered), but I don't really want to go through all of that work for it still to look very out of place!
If anyone has any advice or comments, I'd be most grateful
Cheers
J
