Some more pics to post......
All the handrails were installed and the shells were reunited with the frame.
I have finished all the end grabs and added some more details to the pilots. I also added the train-line air hose and poling pockets. They were made from some plastic sprue that I cut real thin and drilled out the center of each after they were glued in place.
Under the short hood the LNE units have a light that shines on the steps, so that was added in the proper location.
They LNE RS-2's also have a receptacle next to the equipment box ( they are not fuel tanks, they are located under the cabs ). I'm not sure what they are for but I think they are for charging the batteries and jump starting the loco's. We have a similar receptacle on our F-3's, and that's what they are for on the EMD's, so I will assume they do the same on the Alcos.
