VO660 - D&RGW

[v200]

Hi all,

here is my VO660 D&RGW. I added a few details such as side window canvas, arm rests, engineer, hoses and some more stuff......

I' d appreciate if experts here could tell me what else to do (except weathering)

Greetings
Franz

Looking at photos, I see a firecracker antenna on the cab roof, and the stack seems taller. I also see some very prominent Class Lights on all of the photos.

Randy,

first of all, thanks for the hints.

I did some research before. All the photos of #67 I found show her without rerails frogs and speedometer cable (all pics are black/white).
Pushing pole seems to be a great idea......I'll get one....

I revised my post, take a look at the photos Franz.

here is another shote the stack appear to be taller due to a cylindrical spark arrestor.

not sure of the photo you have but did 67 receive one of those wide All weather windows?

Thanks guys,

here are two of the very rare photos of #67. She seems to be different from #s72-74.

According to the pics, stack size and shape appears to be correct.

A closer view on her corner steps and end handrails reveals a lighter shade of grey, very likely orange paint?

Maybe someone can provide a color photo?

I would do the class lights. They would be put into place and plugged in like the ones on a caboose. Cal Scale makes them.
