This is one of those ugly fat body GP35's athearn used to make. They may have been a nice model in 1970 but today there very lack luster. I actually have very few fat body athearn's for that reason. I've been out of the hobby for 10 plus years and now am back in college full time which leaves me with more time than money. So in the spirt of that I went ahead and did some work on this model. I just found the shell while cleaning up and also found a bachman spectrum gp30 frame. I decide why not see if I could get them to work together. With a bit of modification on both pieces they fit well. I then decide to weather the unit as very used and with mechanical issues. I also faded out the cat head as some units have. I think it turned out ok. Im still trying to get my groove back in weathering dept. It still needs some hand rails but I will have to find some or "spend money" and buy a set.
