athearn cabs

[44 gevo]

Does anyone know if Athearn makes a low profile cab for their sw1000's to make them an sw1001? It would'nt have to be athearn it could be from some other manufacture. As far as I know that the only difference between the units.

The Sw1001 is quite a bit different than the SW1000.  The walkways sit much lower on the frame of the SW1001, which results in a taller hood.  The cab is also a little longer.

THanks Chris for thehelp! I thought the cab was the  only  difference between these two units. I was going to model one or two sw1001's in athearn. I know a guy that has several Athearn sw1000's for sale that are undecorated and powered for $20.00 each I think that a good buy.

Now I use  older athern SW cab and that worked but its not the best . later when i got time i took an cannon & company cab for late switcher cabs and modelfied the head lite on the cab for the sw1001 it was not bad looking .
