Looks like a unit that works for a living.  |

Scott, that is a great job of patch-paint!! You really captured the look (check out the rrpictures site for actual photos taken at Little Rock, I think).
Those were part of the Helm Leasing package to the ICRR when they were new. When IC (ICG) returned them to Helm, they were pretty ragged looking and I think at least one of them survives today on one of the Wisconsin short lines, however, it looks a heap better!!
BTW, a piece of L-shaped glass that meets the FRA Part 223 glazing requirement costs almost as much as a whole set of 223 glass for the cab.

Detailed, patched and weathered. You've turned out another great locomotive. Nice work.

ICG & the Katy didn't waste any money on soap and water did they ;D Especially when you consider they both painted over the dirt, at different times! ;D |

Scott - What's next; the ex-Kennecott Copper GP38's? That would be really cool with their shallow fuel tanks!

Scott, now that I've seen the proto photo I'm even more impressed.
