Reinhard,
The sister unit to this one http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic...=17&t=5759 has the nose mounted lights done in what I concider the easy way.I bought two ATLAS SD35 hoods with nose lights and just cut filed and glued the short hood to mate to the KATO shell.I have not decided if I will do the same with this one as I have two SD40-2s to convert to modern CSX locos with low nose headlights.
Thare/were a lot of 4 axle EMD units converted to GP38-3s besides the 35s. NS has a ion going program converting excess GP60s .Both of my GP35s are only non DCC ready units so I will have to fuss with the lighting on both of them.
