Conductor's side of IAIS 719. I know it's considered unprototypical for a model to shine, but the glossy finish that's still evident on the 700s 18 months after the first units were delivered is such a trademark feature that I decided to bend the rules a bit. I left the vertical surfaces in the glossy finish of the Scalecoat 2 black, and dull-coated the horizontal surfaces, since those would likely be the first areas where grime would collect.

Fuel tank and trucks. I added a Hi-Tech Details waste fluid retention tank and a Cannon fuel tank detail set, using some spare parts from the latter to model the retention tank piping. The 700s have been kept fairly clean, so I limited my weathering to a little mud and grime on the trucks, fuel tank ends, and pilots. Trucks also received brake line detail. By: Joe Atkinson

Engineer's side. Since building my first four 700s for a friend, I've continued to experiment with shades of yellow for the ends, and starting with my model of IAIS 719 I've decided to go with Scalecoat 2 CNW Yellow. By: Joe Atkinson
