Danny...I have to agree that Wolf's suggestion that probably the most
common and straight forward for way modelers add thin striping to their
locomotives is through decals. I use a five step process in applying
decals that has never failed me: (1) create a high gloss surface to the
painted model with Floquil Crystal Coat (2) apply the decals (3) "set"
the decals as tightly as possible with Solva-Set (4) overcoat the model
again lightly with Crystal Coat (5) apply the final finish coat of
choice (semi-gloss, flat coat, etc.).

You can see an F-3 set that I just finished striping this week at:

Sharp-looking colour scheme! Sort of like reversed CR&IP. I like it!
