| KITBASHING OF PROTOTYPES NOT BUILT
This board is for prototype diesels that were built by the locomotive builders, but have not been made by model railroad manufacturers. Examples of a Prototype not built would be a Demonstator or a One of a Kind Unit. You may have to use a shell made by for example ATLAS and add parts from a Proto 2000 model to get your desired results.
