No problem Glenn, hope they can find some use! As far as the C32-8 project, False start. What I have, unbeknownst to me is one of the very first release rpp shells, which is devoid of grill detail, has raised panel lines and generally sucks. So I googled some other ho models of this mongrel and thought 'man these modelers went the extra mile to grill out theirs Cs'.... or did they! Nope...There's a better shell! I found another affordable shell on ebay...this time its the later version! I also scored at a recent trainshow what I thought were 3 c-trucked U boats for $75 which are actually c30-7s with the later GE GSC trucks! So I guess the project is back on track! I'm charged to get this done! (Once the aline steps and conrail decals come in) I also traded the PPW chassis for another already painted late model C32-8 shell. Now I can build the 2 units that plied the rails in Canada in 1985! (6618 and 6619)

I've got one of the old ones and one of the improved ones too. Just finished the improved one last year after owning the shell for probably a decade or more. I'm surprised I could find all of the necessary parts even this recently - not everything you need comes with the shell! I think the improved one came out fairly well. Haven't decided what to do with the first run one yet - I suspect it will become some kind of never-built project... maybe a B18-8 with Blomberg trucks?
