On October 8, 1991, Conrail operated a special business train called the Maryland Express, a 280-mile round-trip inspection tour from Willmington to Baltimore to Morgantown. Conrail gave each rider a packet containing information about important locations along the route, maps, photos of the business train, and an assortment of other items. In the packet, Conrail included an Outline, Paint & Lettering guide for the new C40-8W's in the Quality scheme, showing off their newest locomotives and paint scheme devoted to improving their image.The paint crews used this Outline, Paint & Lettering guide when applying the final paint and lettering to the units. Since the guide has exact measurements for applying the logos and notes on what parts of the locomotive do and do not get painted, the guide is an exellent resource for custom painting a C40-8W in any scale.

The clickable thumbnail image below is a smaller version of the full-size image of the guide, which is about 1600x950. You can click on the thumbnail and then save the full image to your hard drive.
To make printing a bit easier, I have also resized the guide to fit on an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper. I've saved it as a 105k 'pdf' file that you can download by clicking on the pdf image to the left. In order to view the pdf file, you'll need to download a copy of the free Adobe Reader, if you don't already have a copy.I hope you find the guide useful. I'd like to thank Dave Goldsmith for his generous contributions.
