Saw these on the Atlas forum. It's absolutely outstanding...much cleaner than my M420s. Thanks, I had a couple of rejects before getting an acceptable piece I also don’t use mold release I noticed that it makes the shell a little more smoother and shiny.

Thanks guys. 2 years in the making lol, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. This should be fun getting all the wires hooked up. 8 LED's just on the sill, there will be 13 to 17 LED's total depending on the unit.

Really great looking, and usual sharp details. Looks like out of an Athearn Genesis box! Doing the whole LED job is Standard on my locos now and I really appreciate the realism it makes them look. I use eiter Loksound or TCS (+keep-alive, as the TCS are mostly for my 6 axel locos) decoders for these and, although I hate the wiring job, I am always pleased with the result.
Typically: -4x (stairs); -4x (head&rear ligths); -4x ditch lights; -2x under frame front trucks
-1x cab - (sometimes strobe(s): 4 on my CN GP9s...dang!). When so many, I sometimes combine ditch and headlights in one function, then stairs and truck lights on another.
...makes for a nice LED wires spaghettini in cabs...
Hope you don't have dead ones in the making... Good luck; that's already a promising project. You won't regret the additionnal work!

Stephane Thanks, yes some details are from the Genesis line, all the under frame piping and the headlight housings. I agree with you on the LED's its a lot of wiring but at end it's well worth the extra work. I dabble check my LED's before installation and I did find a few dead ones probably overheated when they soldered the wires.

Wow, so sharp detailing and painting; I'd have a lot to learn from how you work sir. It is accurate in all minor details. Bravo! I must say this is highly professional work.
Now I can't wait to see the BC Rail version too.

Those are some really good looking engines. I really like the BC Rail unit. All your detailing has paid off. Nice work. Steve

Artur, all of your newer fleet looks awesome, but I do have a sweet spot fot that BC rail unit with the typical double ditch lights setup. The three are beautifully executed, and you definitely can be proud of them. And happy new year to all of you modelers, with successful projects to come...
My currently on-going job (for our RR Club) is somewhat a different thing than what I usually do as far as customization:
