Aristo Craft
Sierra Santa Fe conversions to Redmond Creek RR Bottom
of Page
Originally, I was planning
on selling 2 of the 3 Aristo Craft Sierra Santa Fe combines and 1 of the
2 Observation cars. But then I thought the Redmond Creek Railroad
needed to expand. Below is the original look of the Santa Fe
combine. I attempted to remove the Santa Fe banner with PolyS.
However, it started to remove the black underneath exposing the original
green plastic.
This is with the Redmond Creek RR logo decal and
Redmond banner from Stan Cedarleaf. The banner has a black
background instead of the typical decal clear. It is not very obvious in this
picture, but the REDMOND banner is outlined with a red stripe. It
looks very regal!
Below is the original look of the Sierra observation
car.
Here it is with the Redmond Creek RR logo decal from
Stan Cedarleaf. I used PolyS to remove the center art work. I used a
small paint brush with the hairs cut down to about 1/8th of an inch to
make them stiff. I also used an old tooth brush. It
took approximately 2 hours to get it all off. I then sprayed a
couple of thin coats of Krylon Clear Gloss and applied the decals after
it dried. I followed that with Krylon Clear Satin. The green
color right around the logo decal is a bit brighter than the original
color. But from 4-5 feet away it is not noticeable.
