I was wondering- on the black BB locos like PC and NS, is that really black paint on it or did they use the black undec shell and added the logos/lettering? So if one was to use them to strip and repaint to a different RR scheme, the only thing needed to do is remove the lettering/logos? I suspect it’s the black undec shell.

Even black units were painted before lettering.

Slowfreight is correct. They were painted black. I have a cab that I am using right now from a PC GP38-2 and it is painted black.

In its final days. Model Die Casting did not paint it's rolling stock, except for lettering and logos. I think this was because they were having trouble meeting air quality requirements imposed in So Cal. They moved to Nevada before selling out to Athearn.
