You may be in luck soon. Bowser mentioned on their facebook page that they are looking at doing a C415. I'd love to have a pair of high cab Hi-Ad units for my layout.

Wow. This is a beautiful model. I have a couple of these builds in various stages of completion, but I can sure see the extra effort you went to here. Those hand rails look perfect. I'm starting off with a couple Mehano models, using just the bodies, repowering one with a Kato drive, the other with Atlas (Austria) can motor and Athearn trucks. Oddly, they're speed matched, all speeds. (DC) The hand rails will be the toughest part of the build, I suspect.

Your model encourages me to go on, and gives me some needed guidelines. Thanks for sharing. Dan
