Here is a shot of an ex-Reserve Mining SD38-2. I built it using a Athearn BB SD40-2. This loco was built before Kato came out with their SD38-2. Enjoy ;D

Another cool model! Those where leased to BN during the 1990's. Sure look Frisco-ish with the white Pyle Gyralite on the nose!
Nice work!

I made the triple-clasp by adding the brake shoes/hangers from an Athearn SW Flexicoil sideframes to the SD40-2 sideframes.

You have really got the touch, Dan! The truck sideframe mod is an especially nice piece of work!
