[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Railroading_Brit That's a good-looking engine! Walthers units are an excellent base for this kind of work in my opinion as the basic shell and drive system are very good. I particularly like the brass sunshades and air horns - I have a few Athearn Dash 9s that came with plastic sunshades and air horns which have proved very vulnerable to damage (luckily they just tend to get knocked off) and look slightly over-thick - the brass shades and air horns win on both counts! [/quote] Thanks!! I'll agree with you on all points. I custom paint and detail all my locomotives. I wish I could find a few more GP15-1's. I paid $25.00 for this GP15-1. It is from the second run and includes the rubber washers on the top of the motor mounts, which eliminate almost all noise. I have four more GP15-1's in the works. This one will be the only MP Canary unit. The other four will be blue.
