While work on MRVP’s Winston-Salem HO project layout continues, Cody takes on the task of painting up our model railroad’s diesel locomotive. In this mini-series, Cody will walk through the steps for disassembling, stripping, detailing, painting, decaling, and weathering an Athearn Genesis EMD GP9 model to match the WSS prototype. Cody gets things started by removing the original paint in Part 1.

  1. Q: While I certainly concur with using 91% Isopropanol over any of the lesser concentrations, have you ever tried or considered using 99% Isopropanol. I doubt it would harm the plastic yet may even do a better job of “attacking” the more stubborn paint areas.
    Thanks!
