HLCX 4303 & ISRR 3814

[IORY87]

Here is my next project will be a fantasy HLCX GP40 #4303, now Helm doesnt have a 4303 but that hasnt stopped me yet! My HLCX 4303 will be based off these 2 units

www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=541629
www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2234485 (Ex-HLCX 4301)
www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2408984 (ex-HLCX 4302)



2nd is a unit that is just about done, ISRR 3814 now sporting fresh ISRR Red & Gold scheme(the real ISRR 3814 is in the RailTex red/gray scheme) my model shows what it would look like if it had been painted like the rest of the Indiana Southerns GP40's

The FRA wouldn't be a fan of those cut levers.

Good thing it's a fantasy unit, that way it's only a make-believe violation!! ;D

What's wrong with the cut levers?

[EMDX6043]

You have to be able to pull the pin while standing on the steps. I think ISRR added extentions rather than a completely new lever. That law came around in the late 60s or early 70's I think, but don't quote me on that. It's just a small thing I always notice, but nice job regardless of my OCD!
