CNR MLW RS-18 (Atlas)

I'm surprised how easy this kitbashing is going on. I feel like the hard steps are now being me, only detailling is left and designing some parts for 3D printing.

Puttying is completed on the now-gone Alco notches.

I rebuillt the cab and long hood were I removed one of the step. I'm actually in the process of lenghtening the doors. Also, I sanded down the small "gutter" located at the base of the roof. It didn't exist on any RS11 I've ever saw. Also added a Sinclair Antenna per prototype.





Next step: lots of drilling and mesurements to locate all tiny details in the right place. Still need to hollow the fan and intercoolers.

BTW, does an intercooler part exist in HO? Not that I bother making it myself, just curious. I've read somewhere Tiger Valley may have had this parts, but looks like it will be faster if I do it myself.

Honestly, a fun bash. I won't mind doing it again in the near future.
