IC 3140

[EMDX6043]

Here's the latest motive power to roll out of the shops, and also my contribution for National Train Day.

She began life as CNW 5051 (EMD GP50), and was nearly destroyed in a wreck at Tama, Iowa in the 80's. Now IC 3031 (GP40-3), this is my version using an Athearn GP50 dummy with scratchbuilt and aftermarket details.

IC 6067 is next in line for some shop time, and I've got two more IC units that should be rolling out in the next couple weeks just as soon as I'm done moving.


(Gloss acrylic is still drying around the windows and head/ditch light lenses)

Too cool! Love the Deathstar units. Those decals sure are nice and opaque too

Thanks-they're stock Microscale decals on a gloss finish, sealed with Dullcote. For those keeping score at home, here's the "before the IC" photographs:

VERY Nice Work, Dave!!
