Big Blue has inspired some purchases

[TMo]

Kicking around which unit to model.... (4000 or 4001). I like both paint schemes - I guess I need to decide whether I want a twin to my current zebra strip M420 or not. In the meantime, I think I found a bell and bracket that should work from MPM Hobbies (https://mpmhobbies.com/products/ho-cmr-c...pc-4158506). Ordered it tonight. Still need CN worm decals and the proper CN Orange paint (ideally some Floquil if I can find it for a decent price), both of which I'll need regardless of the paint scheme. The old blue box GP35 shell is a little light on details, so I'm thinking of looking for at least some grab irons to add to it, and I think I should already have a set of M/U hoses. In digging around about the only 2 GP35's on the CN roster, I get conflicting reports on whether the dynamic brake blister had a fan. In looking at a bunch of pictures, some shots seem to have the fans, some don't which is weird.
