BCR MLW RS18 #615

[Twist]

Happy new Year to you.

I started a new and for me first time projekt. As I wrote on another post I need some RS18 for my BCR Fleet. The first on will be #615

Inspired by Matt´s build I started with the undecorated shell of an Atlas RS32, filled the corner notches with some sheet and glued it together and to the shell. I sanded it in shape. The BCR version is different in some details from the CN/CPR versions I know so there will be some more scratchbuilding. There is a big round headlight above the window and on the long hood end between the numberboards and above that sits the dual headlight.The windshield is splitted and the bell is next to the headlight above the frontwindow. Here are the first pictures of my start.




I have two RS11 cabs to use with the low hood RS18´s and I´ll use the Cab of the Trainman RS32 for the high hood version. Finally I will have 3 RS18 #604, #615 and another one with low hood for my fleet. I will send out my order to miniatures by eric tomorrow and hope I have all needed part in order.
More progress on this and maybe the others will follow,soon.

Any tips and ideas are very appreciated,

Regards,Chris
