Hello all,
My most recently completed model is SP GP9 #5754 painted in the famous Black Window paint scheme.
I picked this model up on ebay, was factory painted in the Black Window scheme so I figured I do a quick conversion to a "correct" model be adding a few details and call it good! HAHA!
After several things hit the fan and where beyond "touch-up" I decided to just strip the whole thing of the factory paint and start over! At this point I was ready to just forget the Black Window idea and paint her up in the Blood Nose scheme to fit in with my 1990's era DRGW/SP layout. A good friend of mine (CRJon) kept my desire to have a Black Window GP9 alive, so here we are!
A few details I added:
Include the full SP 5-light show, number board access doors, all new metal cut bars, pilot hand rails, drop steps, correct MU stand, Nathan P3 horn, metal eye bolts, completely re-designed fuel tank, truck air lines, fine scale MU's and much more.
This is also the prototype for my new program to equip all new SP/SSW power with a fully-functional 5-light show!
The Headlight, Gyralight and Red Emergency light all function just as on the prototype!
Thanks for looking!
