I bought this little beauty last Friday for two reasons.One you can see is that it is complete there's nothing missing.Two was because I still had a pilot conversion kit by MTL for the CW40-8. So I bring her home,on Saturday I tear open the pilot kit package and discover that it does not fit the CW.No big deal I say to my self it must be for the C40-8.WRONG! it does not fit that one either. 
So anyway I still needed couplers so I built mounting pads for both ends and used a 1015 for the rear. 1015 is to long for the front it interferes with the truck swing so I tried the Z scale 905.Works like a charm and looks good to boot.Now the plan is to use a 905 for the rear too. :mrgreen:

It is very likely that the next time I post a pic of this beauty she will be wearing a coat of burgundy and a GVR logo on the long hood.
