Considering how hot ALCo bodies get, I am sure the design, if you can call it that, will have to be painted on. Pasted vinyl will soon peel away. The adhesive will be destroyed due to heat.

Wow! Gaudy decoration at its very best! But smart move to use Beauty Contest loco for inaugural run. Looks clean. I hope Mamta doesn't order Duronto vinyl wrapping for this ALCo!
