thanks for the info. I am trying to find pictures of them while they were still in SOO line paint with EMD patches. but no luck so far. <br /> <br />after further research, I found one major problem. these units are suppoed to have ratchet brakes, but the models have brakewheels. looks like some nose replacement is in order. anyone know what the nose length is supposed to be on these? <br /> <br />I also discovered that the GATX units have the wrong grills, and they need ratchet brakes. so it looks like I will scrap mine and start over with the newer Athearn undecorated models. anyone know the nose length on these?
