Well-

It took WAY longer than I wanted it to, but school and the family are FINALLY draining any freetime out of me. This project started life as an Athearn BB.........with lots of C+C, DW, and DA parts. I've added NWSL wheelsets and a Tsunami decoder to her to 'round her out.' I kept the weathering light it her, because I think I'm starting to narrow my era.........at least a little.

Comments welcome, and thanks for looking!

Thanks Justin- It seemed like 'the never-ending-project' for a while there. UGH! But I finally had some time over Spring Break to put the finishing touches on her........still wnat to do some minor stuff, but I couldn't wait to share her.

Thanks man!

Yeah Fred- still gotta show love to the DD though......there's something about TL that I just don't like.........too open? Hard to say really. But when I read a blog about a certain a-hole in the hobby that personally attacks people that he's never dealt with - being compared to 'giants' in the industry; I'm a little skeptical.

Thanks Fred!

Very nice build, Rick! Are the radiator fans C&C?

[drgwguy]

Kerry- the radiator fans are Detail Associates, but the dynamic fan is C&C.

Good work on that DRGW unit.
