Very nice, I know someone that wants to do exactly this! Gotta love patched units (except UP patches on DRGW, SP, etc.) "YUCK"
...and I agree with you Randy...hmmm. LOL

Yes, that backdrop....I know it's around here somewhere-LOL ;D! Thanks for the positive comments! I took a couple of more pictures tonight-not using THAT backdrop-of the other side of the engine. One of the reasons I picked this loco to model, was the two pairs of air horns mounted on both sides of the cab. The CNJ SD35's only had a single chime air horn on the engineer's side of the cab, but it got replaced with a two chime air horn (the conducter's side) from another ex-CNJ SD35(possibly CR #6045) shortly after the start-up of Conrail.   |

He just chose to use a different backdrop that I built... The first one was on MY layout, the second one was a city scene that I built on HIS layout.....
