Model Railroading > Dash 8 RadiatorsDate: 08/30/15 18:34 Dash 8 Radiators Author: gandydancer4 When CN picked up old UP and BNSF Dash 8s, I believe they upgraded the innards to Dash 9 specs which included adding extra radiator cores on top of the existing cores. I have since seen this on UP and CSX units as well. Has anyone tried to model these extra radiator cores and if so, how did they do it. Thank you.

It is part of the updated emmissions package. Eng.Shadetree Date: 08/31/15 16:03 Re: Dash 8 Radiators Author: tsokolan Ok, so anyone have any ideas on how to model the added shutters??

Perhaps using the previously mentioned styrene strips and stacking these on top will produce the effect. Attached is a thread from diesel detailer forum showing how they look on the model:
