Hi Charlie,I really couldn`t tell you much about the Union Pacific railway, so I don`t know if those three locomotives would be realistic or not. <br />Anyway I found another F unit detail kit for you, <br />it`s on page 981 in the Walthers HO scale reference book. It`s made by Gold Medal Models. <br />#304-8711 Detailing Set For Diesel Locomotives <br />Includes 28 windshield wipers in two different styles, 84 lift rings in two different styles, four cab-window sunshades, four rearview mirrors, and eight wind deflectors. All parts are stainless steel. <br />-------------------------------------------------- <br />I bought an HO scale Athearn SW1500 which I`m in the process of superdetailing it and I am going to put an Accurate lighting kit in it. What this kit does is adds ditch lights and makes the light burn at full intensity before the unit moves. Which makes it look more realistic. I noticed that they have a kit for every locomotive you mentioned in your post, would you like more info on these kits or would you rather keep your locos stock? Do you have a layout? When you finish your F units I would love to see some pictures. <br /> <br />Your Modeling Friend, <br /> Nathan <br />ps:I will watch out for flying washing machines!!!
