Just thought I'd post my GP15-1's I have mainly completed one - just needs a couple of details to be added. I have another one in the paintshop to correct some seepage and the last one will get a nose light and a few other details. First the prototype - BNSF of course! www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=25071Mine aren't going to get so grungy because I'm not that hot on weathering!! but it'll get some. Model: Yes I need to add a few details still       I have left off the tray by the blower duct, front plow and the grab on top of the nose. The horn is Atlas and the firecracker aerial is from Miniatures by Eric, lift rings and grabs from BLMA and of course a Mark4Design long hood  I'll post the others once they are finished , oh and yes these are N Scale - the tiddler brigade!!! |

Looking good so far Alister. Is that a new Proto 2000 GP15? Did the tread plate come on it or did you add it yourself? It's an Atlas Trainman Gp15-1 and I used the nose, walkways, sill and mechanism from Atlas and added a Mark4Design long hood with BLMA lift rings and 18" drop grabs. The treadplate is just what Atlas molded although if you wanted to you could use BLMA treadplate which is very nice |

I'm part way through the second build, I'll have one more to do after this one. This is a BN Whiteface patched for BNSF.  A little ways to go, my decal set has been backordered so I'll probably hold this one over til after christmas. |
