Conrail GP15-1 build... JUST DO IT.
#86
A couple pix of the nearly complete GP15-1 CR 1654. The only "baby geep" on CR to wear "big boy clothes". Actually, that's not quite accurate. I've been digging through GP15-1 photos on the web and have found that several units wore the road unit version of the CR "Quality" paint scheme, but this is the only one I can find that wore the large "can opener" version of the scheme, so it is still a unique unit.

I think I am done with the GP15-1s. There are so many variations, there really is no way to model them all. For example there are at least 2 versions of the Operation Lifesaver scheme, the as delivered switcher scheme, the switcher scheme with the white frame stripe, the modified switcher scheme (the small can opener extends all the way to the cab, similar to the big ones on road units), at least 3 more versions of the CR Quality scheme... you get the point. And it all started with a swoosh-painted promo unit that only existed for a day or 2. Sheesh. Misngth
