Nice work! Looking to make some of these in the future, as they have quite a few around here in Altoona.

Looks like it's off to a good start, are you going to add more details, separate grabirons or hoses?

Not on this one. I just started playing around with detail parts and I'm going to start installing grab irons on my 2 NS sd60m's. I'm not to picky about all my engines being super detailed, but I will have some
