Here is a shot of a SP B30-7 that I built using the hood & cab from an Atlas C30-7 the sill and steps from a RPP B23-7 and a Athearn UB chassis.  Enjoy ;D |

That's nice Dan, it almost looks like it's got a periscope.

Very nice, the weathering captures the look of the prototype well!  |

Great job. It reminds me of my first attempt at modeling a B30-7 many years ago using RPP's C30-7 and B23-7 shells. I managed to totaly mangle the C30-7 and ended up setting for a an un-modified B23-7 painted and detailed to represent a Chessie B30-7...oh well!

Here are the cuts that I did to the C30-7 body to make this unit.  Here are a couple of shots showing how the pieces go together.   |
