So.... since there hasn't been a post in the ALCo Century board for a while (since Randy refuses to finish that C430 ), I'm going to share something I've been working on for my dad. This is the only C424 that the PRR ever had, which was built with the guts of ALCo's RS27 demonstrator. It got passed to PC and then to CR and got this one-of-a-kind patch job with the full "CONRAIL" spelled out on the sides and ends on a black locomotive. This is an old yellow-box Atlas model. Only modifications to the shell are the sinclair on the roof and the correct air horn/headlight setup. Prototype: And, just for fun, a couple shots of her with her sister unfinished ex-PC junker, S2 #9814:

It's finished, I just can't paint it.
