Here is a photo of Chicago & North Western GP7 #4162 that I finished a few months ago. Rock Island rebuild. This locomotive has the correct squared fuel tank, sill cut-away, access doors above the prime-mover along with a long list of other things. It started out as a Proto 2000 GP7, it's painted in the TYb paint scheme, what fun it was adding the scale 2 inch high 4162 decals to the cab sides and on the rear! This unit is lightly weathered to match the prototype.  |

I was lucky enough to get to see the engine in person. I was drooling over it and the SP SD9 he brought. Andrew is an excellent modeler!

Hey guys, thanks for the nice comments!  I will try to get some more pix uploaded soon. The all-weather window is actually stock Proto 2000, nice to actually have something in those detail packs that you can use! I plan to do another one soon, probably CNW 4153 (chop-nosed) or CNW 4160. I've always admired the CNW for running GP7's along with the big GE's and EMD's...looked cool. |

Andrew, when you get ready to do another CNW unit let me know. We need to get together and share some tips.
