Model Railroading > HO Intermountain UP Tier 4s (ET44AC)Date: 12/29/24 23:27 HO Intermountain UP Tier 4s (ET44AC) Author: east_bay_alex Sharing a recent project for a new customer. This is the first time I have been asked to weather a pair of locomotives for someone else. My task was to weather them unique to each other and do a medium approach. My vision was to create a pair of units that have been months of service in the Portland, OR - West Colton, CA pool along the I-5 Corridor. This was an interesting project as these locomotives are a bit newer than the era I choose to model. Prototype photos were referenced. Feedback is always appreciated.

The Fusion Scale Graphics GEVO window masking set was used and I will add that this saved tons of time and was extremely easy to apply and remove.
