I like GEs just fine....and I think you've done some exceptional modeling work there. Nice job! Chug, chug, chug, chug....

 8) Fine looking 'catfish' you have there!

When you can get around to it, take a metal straight-edge & pair of needle nose pliers without grip-teeth & align the handrails/stanchions...they are pretty much always straight on the real thing.

There plastic athearn ones those things drove me nuts ! That's what I get for going the cheap route $10 for the plastic ones or 20 for the brass ones ? But I'm still critiquing a few things!  thanks for checking it out

Looks great Badhorse!  You're next on should be an ES44AC... and know this might piss some people off... but you should do one with black number boards and white numbers... I think it looks classy.
