1. If I have an already painted Norfolk Southern C44-9 and I want to add BLMA grab irons should I somehow take of the molded grab irons? If so, how do you do it.? 2. What color is Norfolk Southern Black and the Yellow one the handrails? Thanks
Yes, you take the molded handrails off the shell carefully with a small modeling knife/chisel. The sharper, the better! Then drill your holes and put the new formed grabs on. The black and yellow....what ever is closest. Paints vary so whatever looks good to you.
If you have a high speed internet connection, you should watch the video Craig has about installing grabs: http://www.blmamodels.com/cgi-bin/webstore/shop.cgi?c=videos/grabirons.htm&t=main.htm
