Status report for the SD40-3 CATT. Grab irons are all installed.I'm still deciding on a Canon & Co. cab since A-Line has flush fitting windows for the Athearn cab I am of a mind that I don't really need another project for this project.I have 52" fans from Detail associates coming from Model Train Stuff the dynamics will get 48" ATLAS fans.
The next major project will be body mounting the couplers to use to hold the frame in place and get rid of the pins on the sides of the walkway.I have not given any thought to replacing the handrails as this loco will spend some serious time on the club layout.
DCC is a must as is LED lighting .I have not given much thought to sound as I don't know if there are any sound chips for the big CATT diesel prime movers.Here is a pic taken about 15 minutes ago of the loco's current appearance.
