Special thanks to Dan Garcia and Harry K. Wong!
Pleas note that we will be using Dupont supplied paint chips directly from MOTIVE POWER. These paint chips may not match your current models. These paint chips will allow us to make a model that is not only prototypical in design, but in colour as well.
