I still have a few more things to do on this ECO. I will get pics of the Slug unit that goes with this loco once i get the cannon&co sub base,cab,and nose added on. This is one of my projects I have took more time in doing to get everything just right. I rebuilt the rear pilot and for the front I used an pilot of an old RPP SD90 shell. I built the anticlimber from styrene. I raised the shell to the correct height. As for the fans I got the from an scraped Athearn SD75I and used em. I cut if the rear end and put on a Cannon&Co Dash2 end on it which makes it look much better. I got the three doors from the right side of the same SD75I shell and I cut and put the brake wheel section in. I have used an DA CN Wide cab for this project. I will use an Railflyer CN Wide Cab for the next KCS GP40-2LW project i'll do. I hope you guys like the way this project is coming along so far.

P.S. Why are the CN GP40-2LWs taller than the standard GP40s?

Wow, Damian, as always I find your work impressive! I gotta get deep into detailing my CSX GP40-2, as I got the knuckles, I still need to get a LOT of parts, including the styrene to restore the rear pilot and much more.

They had a lighter frame. I have more details in a book some where. I'll look it up and get back to you.

Have you made a KCS GP40-2LW before?

[Randy Earle]

I wonder if there is any way to post from imageshack without having to see all that other crap also?

[KCSRailfan]

Like this is as best it gets, once them thumbnail is open, the crap is still there.



Damien if this works better for you and the group, on "Imageshack" select "Forum" under "Inbed Thumbnails of ths Image".

So how is this one coming along??

[KCSRailfan]

Damian, I have been working on one of the former Canadian 4 windows that went to KCS. My starting point was a Train World $5 blue box dummy: With the Detail Associates cab, lengthened Kato GP35 dynamic section and the reworked hood and C&C hood. Doing #2900. How are things pogressing on the ECO? Patrick.
