CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas)

[sailormatlac]

It's time to complete the second batch of RS-18. I spend the Christmas holidays detailing and completing these 3 locomotives. They will be painted in the CN wet noodle scheme and detailing reflect common practices of the late 1960s and early 1970s, it's why some habitually obvious details are missing since they are later additions.



Class lights were made out of resin dots and bells had to be severely altered to be prototypical. Miniatures by Eric's RS-18 bells aren't correct for the 3600 series.







For this one, I didn't have a brass bell, thus I made one out a sprue. Necessity is mother of invention. I certainly won't stall the project over such a petty thing! ;-)



FInally, another Rs-18 is on the bench work - the last one - but this time, it's a severely kitbashed Mehano/Model Power/Life-Like shell.
