I would of bet money it was an Atlas shell Steve. Great looking GE  I second that! I had assumed it was an Atlas, and would have never thought it to be a RPP shell! Is the frame also RPP with Athearn trucks? Where'd you get the decals........Microscale? Good job on the colors too. The gray is dead on! Rick www.fourrocksmodelworks.com |

How do you get the chains attached on the front rails?

Jay, I'll give that a try. It looks like I've got a cab gap like PEIR brought up in another section. Larry, I CAed the chain to the bit of handrail left when I cut the middle section. Here's a head on shot. I didn't notice that I didn't paint the chain until I went looking for the picture. It's black now.  |
