CNR GP40-2LWs #9644, 9656

These are both Atlas Master Series, factory painted and lettered HO scale GP40-2LWs.  Dave had sent them to me for the usual distressing, and the result was one faded unit, and one grimy unit. 

The CNR had a vast fleet of these unique GP40-2 variants that saw anything from hot shot mainline service to switching and way freight duties.  The Atlas units are well rendered units, with gorgeous paint and printing and the usual flawless drive train.

Details added to these units were minimal, and include truck sand lines and speed recorders.

The units were dull coated, weathered with chalks and sealed.  Final touches were done with dilute washes and dry brushing.

My apologies for the sub-standard pictures.  The weather around Bogenville has been gloomy and blustery, precluding use of the outdoor diorama.
