Since these pics were taken I have drilled the holes for the nose grab irons.The high short hood (why does that sound silly?) was made by raising the low nose to the proper height and filling in the blank area with sheet styrene.The loco has nickel silver wheels by Jay-Bee and will be recieving a DigiTrax decoder once all the body work is done.
You may notice the EMD Blomberg truck sideframes these will be changed out to the correct ones the Blombergs are there because this chassis was assembled for a B23-7 which were built with trade in EMD trucks (all 10 of them) but that project is on hold till I can find some ATLAS railings for it.
[LOL its John, my name should bring back memories but.....I'll see if you know first.. I was and still am a BIG B&O fanatic!]
The name is familiar but I can't really place you.
Tell me more .I suffer from CRS.
