I did this unit this weekend. It will become CR 8229, like this: www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=174838&nseq=14 I may be making the ditch lights work on this unit. Here are the shots:      As you can see i did a bunch of detailing on this unit, i moved the nose grabs, plows, lift rings, etc... I hope to get it painted sometime soon. Christian |

Hi Jeff, I will be adding the signal box, after I install the tread plate and get the engine painted.

Smoke, I will be using superbright 1.5 volt bulbs and magnet wire to make the ditch lights work. This is the trainman unit. Can't wait for my GP38 to get here so I can do an NS GP38AC!

Well, here she is painted. Still waiting on treadplate to arrive. Once it gets here, I will tack it on and get the handrails and lights set up and she will be finished.   |

Thanks Scott! The treadplate got here yesterday, so I will have to find some barge cement and I can get it on there.
