Ok, here it what some of you all have been waiting for. The link below is to my Webshots page where I have the photos located. These are the pictures of the GP15T-1 I have been working on. This unit will have a full light package and cab interior lights, operating ditch lights, running lights, RCL beacons, and osclating headlight. It will be painted with a Colbalt Blue body, UP harbor mist grey frame, sliver trucks, and red/white striping. I also have a SW1500 that I have almost completed. It alreadyt has been painted, but is waiting on handrails. I will post it soon too. I just added a MP15AC to the list of motive power for the SAB&T and pics will be added as the model work gets started. Webshots link: good-times.webshots.com/album/576678393aiEyjkGR |

I forgot to add a little info concerning the units design and purposes. This locomotive is equipped with a 8 cylinder, 710 prime mover, Q-Tron Electronics, D87 TM's, and has extended range dynamic brakes(GP60 type housing). Besides working the yards, one of the unit's other purposes is for high speed freight and inter-modal service, so it has had the appropriate electrical upgrades and higher traction motor gear ratio to operate with its bigger cousins, the GP39-3's, GP50's, and GP60's. This is the class unit for the GP15T-1's on the SAB&T.
A side note. The SAB&T is a subsidiary of the Shadow Valley Railroad.

very nice looking unit. I really like the mods that you have made to the unit as well as the massive amounts of detail parts that have been added to the unit.

FYI, for those wondering. This unit is getting ready to hit the paint shop. I have been busy with other projects. Namely one very LARGE HO rail yard. It has been consuming my time. Anyway, I should have some photos posted of this unit after paint in about a week or so. ;D
