RC is right I made a UP SD60 the way he described, (ALOT of work!) and then 3 months later P2K announced theirs. <br /> <br />After seeing one I've purchased eleven of them and actually just picked up 2 more this past weekend to add to my fleet. However, if your looking on ebay and find one for 80 dollars that's still higher than I've seen them for. By going to swap meets and train shows, I've been able to pick them up brand new and in perfect condition for anywhere from $55.00 to $65.00. Plus if you don't mind stripping them (by using rubbing alcohol) you maybe able to help somebody out who is stuck with a RR that they can't unload (sometimes even a better deal).Once it's stripped you're ready to go. I've wound up stripping 4 SD60's and then painting and decaling them, and the way the P2K's are built they are alot easier to paint and mask than a Railpower which is all one piece. <br /> <br />Good luck with your decision and project.
