I started out using rrps sd50 kits then went to Proto 2000 sd50s I'm currently working on one of pnws sd50s shells. I thought it would be a simple exchange of parts turned out I had to remove and replace the whole radiator section of the locomotive because of the difference in radiators from the Clyde built sd50s models as they have a second larger radiator section on the back half of the engine. Was hoping to have it finished and maybe get a shell cast so is not to have to go through the same ordeal with three more engines. Is taking a lot longer than I had hoped mostly because of the Canon and Company parts that are not available. The rear radiator section is 8 in deeper than the standards which facilitates having to find a way to reduce the access door sizes for that compartment not having enough available parts is making it difficult of course spending $30 in shipping on a $12 order doesn't help much.
