Finally finished with all the plastic work!!! ;D ;D All that I have left to do on the bodies are the handrails/stanchions. For those I am going to be using a mixture of Smokey Valley and Utah Pacific parts. Then it's on to the underframes.    Enjoy! Dan |

The last things that I had to work on were the jacking pads and cab sub-base steps.    The two panels just forward of the rear step were replaced because the forward one was to large. The louvers were salvaged from a scrap P2K shell.    The coupler pin lifters are from Railflyer Model Prototypes, item #6573. Enjoy! Dan |

Amazing work, Dan ! Thanks for sharing the steps of this detailing. It is very instructive. What DA parts did you use for the radiator? |

Haven't done a whole lot to them this summer.  But, I did get a new roof put on the house and garage and am currently working on rebuilding my workbench area. |
