Airbrushing on a large scale
Enjoy the Video


How do you paint a locomotive?

Excellent video, thanks. Just confirmed what I suspect most of us already knew - masking off is the most time consuming part of any air brushing project.

cheers John.

I  personally think   the loco   would have looked better in  Armor Yellow  ........  a little Harbor Mist   Grey along with  Red  highlights      

Now thats what I call music 
What is it?
PS I didnt like the colours but where do they get the people from to airbrush it?

Not sure about the music Jon  cant tell  you  i'm  afraid but information  about the loco  i   do have 

Norfolk Southern is placing a one-of-a-kind "Veterans Locomotive" into freight service on its system to honor people who have served in the military and reserves, especially those employed by the railroad. Painting the Veterans Locomotive involved 26 NS employees, two of whom are veterans, using 66 gallons of primer and paint over a 112-hour period.

Over the past six years, Norfolk Southern has hired some 1,300 veterans, and today 14 percent of the total NS workforce -- more than 4,200 employees -- are veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves. More information about working at Norfolk Southern can be found at NorfolkSouthern-veterans.jobs.

Ever wondered how a locomotive is painted? Check out this time lapse video of the Juniata Paint Shop in Altoona, Pa., and how they worked their magic to create the Veterans Locomotive.
