...His wife has a cutter...

I gathered that. I'm curious as to what kind she's using.

Hello Jerry
I see there has been over four thousand hits on this posting and I'm thinking a good portion of them are probably mine. Talk about getting glued to something!
I'm in total agreement with all the positive comments you've received, this is truly an outstanding project with stunning results.
Well done Jerry and thanks for sharing this with us.
Cheers.
Harvey.

She uses an Ioline Studio 8 30" plotter. Signlab software.

Guys, thanks for your comments, but there are some goofs/compromises on this, a few I caught too late in the game, but I ain't telling!

2906 is pretty much done. LED's really give good illumination. The UP Overland graphics I made on the computer and printed off on Papilio ink jet vinyl. My wife cut the red graphics/lettering out of vinyl, she used to have a sign business.
 
For the ladders, I cut off strips of 1/2" square mesh I got at the lumber yard. 
 
Here you can see the lights, grill and steps. I had to thin down the steps quite a bit to fit in between the fairing and boiler.
 
It took more work than I expected to make this. You'd think I would know to expect that, with building a Challenger and 844. I ordered one of the Shark kits from Rob Fern, be fun to make a locomotive that you don't have to build the body. Just put it together and paint it!

Jerry;

I think the livery you chose looks much better than the prototype's. Teriffic job! Hope you get lots of enjoyment from that locomotive.

Best,

Thanks for all the kind comments, I appreciate them. Hopefully, it will be warm/not windy enough on Monday to give it a trial run.
