[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TiVoPrince [b]Generally any surplus locomotive that was electrically sound could become a slug. Southern Pacific had several varieties for purpose specific jobs. EMD yard slugs built from retired switchers. [url]http://espee.railfan.net/sp4xslug.html[/url] These have very generic lines (possibly what Railroading Brit is interested in?) [/quote] That's the one - or at least, something like it. I found a few photos of something similar a while ago but have unfortunately forgotten the web address - might well have been www.oldnyc.com but that site seems to be having trouble at the moment so I can't check it - would have been on their New York Cross-Harbour RR tour. I'll have to look for an Athearn unpainted dummy SW7 calf to modify - couldn't bring myself to hack up a painted example! Thanks for the advice!
