I was reading that it was believed that this was an unlucky locomotive, it seems that a trainman lost his legs when UP had her. I have not been able to find out for sure. I placed an order from atlas, I have a dynamic brake housing with kit #8999, however it is not right, so I ordered two that are closer and will have to do a bit of cutting, all I need after that is some UP decals to put some black strips over, cut some bright yellow patches, a bit of weathering and it should be easy. but first I have a few other irons on the fire.
