Nice Geep. All you need is about 50 more and you'll be all set! I agree about the weathering, it looks great.

Wow, looks amazing. Weathering turned out really good too. Amazing what you can do with an old Athearn.

yeah i thought so as there are parts of blue box athearn , athearn genesis, kato , bacmann, and some DW and da stuff thrown in there too. it has a special place with me now as i know where it came from. thanks for the comments guys. all this encourages one to push the boundaries further and further each time.

Sounds like my Dash 8's........RailPower, Bachmann, Atlas, Athearn, DW, DA, Utah Pacific, plus I'm sure others I'm forgetting. Just takes a quick trip (or a dozen) to the hobby shop to get the right parts.

Dan,
that looks awesome no matter where it started. if you don't say anything I bet someone who hadn't seen this post would just think it's an ordinary blue box.
