CN GP40 9303

[shauncn]

Here's some photos of my CN GP40 9303 from the stock painted atlas modle, I changed a few details such as: front and rear headlights, cab bell, removal of the dynamic brake fan, moved the horn and replaced with K3L horn, added airline and antenna to the cab roof as well as added a brake wheel in place of the original brake lever. also added sunshades, snow hoods behind cab, snow plow and electrical box behind the cab.

The CN GP40's were some of the roads first venture into "second generation" power and were all retired by the late 1990's. Durring the early 90's the entire fleet was assigned to Sarnia, Ontario and were used in sets of 4 units to pull trains through the original st, clair tunnel between Sarnia, Ontario and Port Huron, Michigan. Beeing from Sarnia it's fitting to have one of these units. Here is 9303 on one of the tunnel runs:

Welcome to the forum Shaun and nice work.

I had many rides through that old tunnel when I worked for CN but I preferred the new tunnel once it was completed.
