Here is a quick list of projects that I've got either on my workbench or that are currently in the planning stages. 1st: ATSF B39-8 #7402 A modified RPP C32-8 shell on a RPP 8-40B chassis. This built already has it's own thread at dieseldetailer.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dash&action=display&thread=14552nd: Minnesota International Rwy (MI) B30-7 A modified Atlas C30-7 body plus a RPP B23-7 walkways/sill on a Athearn "B" boat chassis. 3rd: MI Dash8-40B A Walthers model to strip, detail and paint. 4th: MI Dash8-40BW A Walthers model to strip, detail and paint. 5th: MI B32-8 (ex: BN/GE demos) A modified RPP C32-8 shell on a Athearn "B" boat chassis, as-per Keith Mangels article in the Sept. 1990 MR 6th: UP Dash8-40CW A stock RPP 8-40CW shell/chassis detailed and painted. 7th: MI B18-7 This will be done in the same way as the B30-7 only there will be 4 engine compartment doors instead of the 8 as on the B30-7. This will also require that I shorten the chassis by this same amount. Hopefully, I'll be able to get too these in a timely fashion. But we'll see. Dan  |

Currently I only have my QRLX SD35 on the work bench, I just need to add the QRLX Stencil to the cab and reassemble the windows and handrails. However I have many projects planned. I want to do a couple GTW GP9Rs, I have 8 CNW GP7s planned, 1 CNW GP9 Planned. I have a 9th CNW GP7 but I need to get new truck frames and renumber it as it doesn't fit the 94' CNW Roster currently. after I want to do a couple EJ&E 616s as a couple friends have asked me to make them. I'd like to do some J Ball SD38-2s. I also want to do 4 or 5 more CNW SD18s. I'm hoping to start soon doing my Central Michigan C30-7s and my Mid-Michigan Railway 5967

-Finishing a Athearn RTR GATX SD40-2 (need plow, weathering only)
- numberboard decals for a KCS SD50, BNSF SD40-2
-Minor sanding on a RTR GP60B and touch up paint
-Replacing bent frame on SD40-2
-Finish remotor project (need to drill holes for ground wire to frame, and test to see if they run before adding DCC)
-work on my BNSF, ex ATSF, SD40-2 (cab details, paint)
-figure out how to wire LEDs for headlight and ditchlights to the Athearn board (any help on this would be appreciated!!)
-last but not least, drink a few beers and wonder what I got myself into!!! ;D

I'm rescuing an Athearn SD40-2 that somebody else built with Cannon parts with a decent paint/weathering job in Southern Railway. I've added some new buffers to mount the shell to the frame, and I'm just gonna touch it up a bit and add a few more details.
