It's a Proto 2000. What I meant by "[glow=red,2,300]waiting on the rest of the detail parts to finish[/glow]" is that the detail parts are the next step, and I need to get some. [glow=red,2,300]-Smoke[/glow] |

It has been placed on the back burner. Last time I went to caboose, they were out of HH kits as well too, and I have been working on other projects lately. |

I have the high hood built and installed. I am doing this project a little different than I usually do. I have glued the walkway to the hood, and the cab to the high hood. Once that dried I glued everything together. so right now everything is glued waiting on myself to decide what I want to replace on the model.

On my LL SD60's the only thing i think I really changed was the air tanks on the bottom,I milled the frame down to accept the tanks also,but as far as that the rest was factory....
