Nice, unique model. What did you use as a starting point?

Thanks,

Great stuff.. Always one of the reasons why I liked the BN of the 1980s.

Cheers,
Harry

I have one built out of an Athearn GP-38-2 with a GP-9 nose from a long defunct outfit - can't recall the name but one used to be able to get shells from Proto Power West. A relatively easy bash.


TCS - fore axle
