I've noticed awhile ago that NS D8-40Cs 8714 - 8763 have a drop down step added to the anticlimber to align them with the EMD anti climbers so after some serious thought to cut up a perfectly fine looking loco to add some much needed details to 8735 which will become 8762 do to it having an AC also gave it the right exhaust and the box added to the front of the engineers front window will also have the end handrails corrected to the "L" shape to account for the drop !
Nice little detail to add. I looked at a pic of the real unit(8762)... have fun with that paint job! LOL! Dan
Thanks dan but I changed my mind lol I wasn't looking forward to that ,so since I could save the paint job I just numbered it 8757 to keep HorseHead scheme and added some dirt to blend in the new paint
It shows it up side down but when I click it its right side up ?????
And last one
Ah yes... that was management thinking. LOL! Dan
I'd rather have the step down than the diving board the 38 has lol
Management has brain farts all the time ;)
I forgot to post this one ! Looked kinda awesome
8757 say wanna play chicken
Looks great!
Nice! Now, all you need to do is put it on some track and fire up those lights! Dan
Thanks guys !i have a Bachmann CW that I think was horrible looking the fuel tank look really small so I built it a new one then I was thinkin about buying an atlas shell for ! But any who this is basically a "step down D8 so here's a pic of the tank I built
Here's the other side !
Also raised the body up , it was causing uneven coupling and the plow would short it out
