After almost a year I picked up my PPU #200 again.

Due to its ugly start and the tedious job of several loops of laminating and sanding I lost my motivation for a few months

The rough basic sub-assamble of the shell

Well, back in December 2016 I continued with the project

Currently I'm painting tthe unit - trying to get slightly different shades of black for the frame and the shell.

A picture of the prototype (only one produced ever):

Thanks for your comments, Reinhard & Wayne.

PPU #200 (as GM&O #1900) is in 1/29 scale - due to moderately priced locmotives & cars in this scale

Finally found the appropiate color - a slightly light black - for the shell; currently gloss for application of decals. Now I have to design PPU's herald and to look for lettering. finally the silver lining arounf the front grills will be applied
