This is an almost finished model of a new addition to the SP roster. The remaining numbers of the 4800 series has been filled out by the SP leasing GP38-3's from Helm Leasing. The SP 4866 is one of these units. Pulling their heritage from Conrail, CSX, NS, and the UPRR, these units were refit at the NS Juniata shops and were delivered to the SP in early 2002.
This model is a GP38-2 from Atlas with C&C fans and various DTA and DTW parts. There are a few remaining parts to be added such as the ditchlights, sand lines, speed indicator cable, and coupler lift bars. There might be more, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head. This unit should be completed by the end of the month.

Really nice to see someone modeling one of those units, I've been wanting to do a few of those for years, now I gotta do a couple! Nice work!
