Here is a wreck rebuild (for real) by the RG&S. This is an Athearn SD40-2 with a RPP SD60M wide cab. Still has a long way to go. This is the one that I dropped and shattered. For bending the brake lines I used the Donnel M Well's method.    |

The handrails throw me off, but otherwise nice!

Thanks everyone your comments are greatly appreciated, especially from the group here!
That was the best or easiest way I could come up with for the handrails by the short hood. The fact that it still sets back on the porch like a standard nose, but angles in throws them off.

I like the looks of it. Look slike something that a railroad might actually do with a wrecked unit.
