Hi
Although I mainly build Alcos, I always wanted a CP Rail FP-9A as they have lots of individual personality. I started with an Intermountain unit already painted as CP 1411. This is one of 2 FP's on CP with added roof top cooling pipes. I added icicle breakers, avalanche lights, the cooling pipes, grab irons, twin sealed beam headlight and a few other parts. Just waiting for some airhorns to arrive and she's done.

Cheers

I have install the airhorns and I've got some MV lenses for the headlight. Then I can get back to my big MLW's. Cheers Steve

My father made an FP-9 about thirty years ago in the sixies paint scheme but it wasn't nearly as detailed as yours

Also, if you can take a couple of close-ups of the different details it would be appreciated!!!
