       #2356 Southern paint job
       By: oldgoat1965 Date: June 28, 2015, 12:46 pm

       Hi people, New to the forum and looking forward to the
       experience. I want to repaint my f3 Southern #2356 ABA. They are
       very dull and heavily scratched up from handling and poor
       storage conditions. Can anyone tell me what paint should be used
       and what colors to use to match the original colors? I have seen
       decals on eBay that look like the originals that I can use on
       the nose.

       Hello & Welcome to the Forum!
       Repaint's can vary from a rattle can job to brush or airbrush.
       I've had good results repainting rolling stock with Krylon
       plastic paint.
       Micromark:
 (HTM) http://www.micromark.com/painting-decaling-weathering.html
       has a good selection of paints & tools available.
       Southern Steam:

       shows the paint schemes/colors, numbers & years that the F-3's
       ran.
       I've got an SR repaint project myself, a neverwas Marx CP
       locomotive in SR regalia.
       Happy Rails!
