I see no problem with that  Smoke, I'd love to see a high hooded C40-9, if ya ever get bored ;D 'nother one I modified from Mike Ebys site:  In my rendition of Southern Railway when the wide cabs came out they prettty much stopped witht the high noses. I already have some wide cabs painted for Southern. I think if I ever make a high nose out of a widecab model it would probably be a SD80MAC. |

The unit has been primered and now I am going to add all the detail parts Athearn neglected. The sill of the loco has not been primed yet. I have to glue on a couple parts that fell off when it got stripped.  -Smoke |

I haven't done much but I took another picture. I plan on working on this during the schoolyear. I have a Railflyer bell that I am going to be putting on this unit instead of the bell on there right now.  |
