From My Workbench






I am working on my Locomotive AP and thought about taking a old blue box Athearn locomotive and super detailing it. I had 3 SD-45 units, one dummy and two power units and started with them. This first one will be the dummy unit. Thus far there are a total of 133 details.

 Thanks to Cannon and Company for his help in part selection...
 A lot of details west and detail associates parts
 This will be a Cotton Belt unit, the other two will be Southern Pacific units with elephant ears.
 This is the "practice" unit, learned a lot from this one...
 I will post updates as I go along.. until then..
