MKT 4206

One of three NMRA 2018 National Train Show cars from a custom decorated set produced by Accurail and sold by the NMRA 2018 NTS Committee.

I added new jack pad/bolster parts modified from Plano's Trinity parts, Highball Graphics' lube plate stencils, Tangent wheelsets and modified the kit's outlet gates. The yellow graphics on this car were not very opaque and came across as a lemon yellow, compared to the prototype car's much richer cadmium yellow. I painted over the large MKT, initials and number and left the rest of the lettering alone. Unless Accurail corrects this in the future, assuming they even add this scheme to their lineup, I may just use Herald King decals and make my own. Or track down one of the Tangent cars!
