Here is something I have been working on for a few days. An Atlas C30-7 bashed into a C36. I say bashed but it really didn't require a ton of work. Just removed the nose headlight housing and changed the exhaust stack and there you go. I "believe" that these were the last locos ordered by NW prior to the merger. I do know that the last order was delivered in NS paint.....thanks to Mr. Toth's plethora of information that he is able to somehow compile.
Yes, the 8530 series came in NS paint and had the dynamic brake housing raised up behind the cab. Looks good! Dan
I bought the raised housing for the later numbers, and an exhaust grille to add. I have had these parts sitting for a while. This engine looks good!
Thanks for the compliments guys. Here "she" is all done and sitting on the layout.
Good looking pug ladder
Thanks guys. This was one of those engines that gets stuck in the deepest reaches of the work bench, unfinished and then you discover it years later and are like "So that's where I put that thing"
