Beep!!!
Author: MrMRL

Not my model, just a random (awesome) photo grab from this past weekend's open house at the HO scale California Southern Model RR Club in Norwalk, CA.

One more evening for the free event tonight from 7-9pm!

Most unusual shot.  I  am not well versed on ATSF motive power but I'm guessing the cab unit may have been a Fairbanks-Morse switcher that got an EMD long hood and Blomberg trucks.  The rear unit appears to have been an SD without a cab and used as a booster.

The Beep would be a good subject for a cast resin or 3D Printed kit.

Great Models. Considering how well the BN SD40-2B sold, I'm sure ScaleTrains is likely considering the ATSF SD45B's.

CMR Products makes a resin Beep casting in both HO and N Scales.

CMR makes 3D printed the "BEEP" in both versions, the newer and older cab style in n and ho scale. But they are realy, realy crude, The wall's of the cab look about 4ft thick.

Yeah, I've seen CMR's products, crude is an understatement.

The original comment implied there were no "Beep" models available. CMR makes one, which according to some, is of crude quality, with 4-foor thick cab walls among the issues.
I never mentioned quality in my post. Personally, I built the CMR Alco T-6, and while there were some issues with fit, the cab wall thickness was fairly normal.
But some trolls here cannot resist.
