Inspiration for the 4285 came a couple weeks back after seeing the real thing...

Love it. A prototype for everything. Looks like some of the cars I drove in college. Nice work as always.

Sorry MrMRL but I feel you need more practice.
I have 37 kato units you may start on.

Obviously I am just kidding.
Wish I had a tenth of the skill you show in these pictures.

 Both of these AC units are actually just the ones that came with each model, just painted primer gray. I have used the DW part (or Athearn RTR parts) in the past.
