Hi
This model was designed to be a quick as well as cheap build but turned out to be a bit more involved that I thought mainly due to altering the handbrake from a wheel to a ratchet. Couple of bits still to add in the form of brake distributor valves and the handbrake linkage to the front truck
Cost wise here's the breakdown (in £'s as I'm a Brit)
P2K SD60 (cheap as fan missing) £40.00
Athearn Q rad fans £3.50
A-Line Sunshades £2.25
DW Rear mirrors £1.75
DW Air line £1.50
DW Duel fuel fillers £2.00
DW Rotary beacon £2.50
DW Firecracker Antenna £2.00
DW EMD Fuel Tank brackets £2.50
DW headlight lens £3.50
DW Ratchet handbrake £1.50
Vallejo dark red paint £1.60
Which come in at a round £65
(and the TCS DCC chip was a freebee from a friend!)
