Who does custom painting/detailing of modern locomotives? Looking for mainly lease locomotives running around on CSX and a few main road names.

just about every hobby shop has someone who paints locomotives for odd ball road names in any paint job you want. A few places that I know of that paint locomotives for leaseing companys are Pacific Western Rail Systems dose N & HO Scale Locomotives, N Scale Supply, Caboose Hobbys dose HO and N Scale, Internet Model Trains, the N Scale Division.

Just do a search on the internet for custom painters- and see what turns up. You're bound to find someone in your area with good quality work.

thanks. I'm looking for HO only and Pacific Western has a lot of N scale ready to buy stuff but barely any HO at all. I'll have to check up on the others.
