Kevin Prohl made this great model of an RS-1 from a Life-Like model.
Kevin started with a Life-Like Proto 2000 Alco S-1 switcher lettered for Louisville
& Nashville #37. After stripping the factory paint with Easy
Lift Off (ELO) paint remover, he used Accuflex Santa Fe Red
on the model [Accuflex paint is out of production; Modelflex is a close match], along with Modelflex
#16-01 Engine Black, and Polly Scale
Undercoat Light Gray and
Reefer Yellow.
Most of the decals are from a DM Custom Decals set, but the yellow numbers are
from Microscale set #90106 (Railroad
Gothic). He sealed the decals with Floquil
Crystal-Cote
and now he has a fine-looking Green Bay & Western switcher for his
layout!
