You did pretty good. My show last week I found one detailed sd40-2 conrail with a csx patch. I will repatch to ns. Things are getting hard to find seems like. Even Ebay has dried up latley.

Did you happen to get see to see any samples of the new stuff Atheran is coming out with...more specifically the Southern GP38?

I saw the promo for those things, and they looked pretty good, but for some reason, they just looked "odd" in the photo...almost out of scale and bulky. Just wondering if they are really that way...I have half a mind to pic one of those up to detail and weather and add to my dust collectors on the display shelf!
