Glen's diesel rebuild thread

Thanks everyone.

I started on another engine project recently.

Another modeller gave me a Proto1000 RS-10 chassis. I started looking around to see if I could get the body for it but pretty much came up empty. However I suspected that the drive components were the same as a Proto2000 FA-2 . A quick search on Ebay netted me:

for about 20$ I got a dummy FA-2. Unfortunately, it was missing the large radiator fan screen

Not only were the drives the same, but the engines had the same wheelbase.

I also had a spare body that I started work on some time ago, cutting the engineer's door open as well as some other mods. It was also missing the fan screen but I managed to find the detail associates photo-etched screen and the Miniatures by Eric Canadian Pacific winter hatches for the engine. My plan is to build the matching 'A' unit for a 'B' that I built up and painted awhile ago
