Two more Atlas diesels for Sweethome Alabama

[Jon Grant 4472]

I managed to practically complete another diesel over the weekend, this time a P2K CSX GP30.

It started out as a standard GP30 in the third CSX paint scheme but I wanted to add some yellow ends, to represent the 4th and a half scheme - where CSX just added one or two yellow ends (and sometimes other bits) to locomotives painted in the previous CSX and predecessor schemes.

Here's the original loco from Proto 2000




I masked off the loco, leaving the ends bare, sprayed them yellow, added some details and a Quantum Revolution sound decoder with GP30 engine sounds. Here's the result. I also managed to pick up an Overland M920 CSX caboose today at the local swapmeet to complement the loco. (it actually cost more than sone of the sound-fitte locos on sale at the meet, but it is just what I've been looking for)












.....and a couple of the caboose
