MRL Models

Here are most of my custom painted Montana Rail Link models. These shots are of the models in various stages of completion so some details may be missing. Models include SW-1200s, SD40s, SD45s, SD45-2s, SD70ACes, & a few others. Newest images are at the top of page 1.

I've settled with water based acrylic paints on my custom painted MRL models. Testors Pollyscale CSX Blue and Engine Black have been the colors of choice. Once painted, I then seal the finished models with a couple coats of Testors clear glaze to bring out the color depth and shine. ~ Robby F.

Awesome work ! I have done three MRL units but the scale and quality of your craftsmanship is way beyond my efforts.

Also interested to know what paint you use.

Nice models Robbie, glad I could see some of them in Winslow!!!
Now if you were only modeling the SantaFe... :-)

Hi, I want to paint some MRL engines but I can't find anyone selling MRL blue paint. Can you help me? What brand and color are you using? Thank you for any help in this matter. Brian Stewart Sorry for the double post, I forgot to add e-mail address.
