Well I cleaned off my work station (TV Table ) and I am ready to start my next project. Time to start my favorites...Tunnel Motors ;D One is an RTR (only one I have) SD45T-2. This one won't get many modes done to it, but will get the standard details added. The second one is a BB SD40T-2 that I plan to through everything at. I am going to open the grills, replace the nose, subbase, cab, filter box, blower, filter screens, turbo, and fans with cannon parts amongst other parts. As you can see by the stack of parts on the back of the tray I am already helping Paul with his sales this year, and I don't even have half of the parts yet. Here is how I hope they will look.

Do the SD40T-2 in the all orange scheme and the SD45T-2 in the silver/orange scheme.

Cut out some of the parts to be replaced, blower, intakes, electrical cabnit, filter screens and nose. Looks ugly now, but will look good once the parts arrive.

Here I added the roof details and nose details to the 45. I always like the "busy" look of the SP roofs.

I think you should do both paint schemes. The silver and orange looks great. Gives it that Western Pacific look. Looks like your going to do a great job on the detailing also.

When the parts start going on builds it get's exciting to me. Those S&S Grilles sure make a difference.

Tunnel motors are such a great modeling project and your paint scheme looks great. I am glad railroads like yours are keeping these work horses around and getting them into a fresh coat of paint =)
