Model Railroading > BN GP30, Woodinville, WA

 Like many others these days, I am working my way through some backlog of projects.
Here is one that I am now nearly done with:
 This project is an ex-CB&Q GP-30, BN #2249 (Q #972). Starting point of course, was a Lifelike P2K model that I repowered with a Kato GP35 frame and mechanism.Details added included: Tsunami 2 decoder/567 turbo sound, LED lights, metal cover plate on top light set, functioning rotary beacon, cab sunshades, relocated airhorn, firecracker antenna, flat plate pilot.
 I am not done with the weathering yet (due to airbrush issues), but I did get started on it including using the amazing Tamiya black edge accent on the hood doors. cool stuff.

I took her out for a spin today and while running in Woodinville, I made a half-assed effort to duplicate in HO, a photo I took of 2249 in the real Woodinville back in 87.

Lots of good stuff in those two shots. What stands out for me is the great job you did weathering the rail. Ya, I'm weird that way :)

Your investment in time and skill on this unit really paid off. Looks great.
