Hi Bryan, <br />About 5 years ago I wanted to do the same project and was a bit stumped until I realised that most railroads used old locos to convert to slugs and that most slugs were different from railroad to railroad.So I took the cab off an Atlas RS-3,filled in the small gaps with putty ,shaved off the louvers and door handles and filled in the headlight holes. After a nice paint job and some decals it did the job for me.Being an Atlas it runs beautifully,but if that seems too expensive a loco to do that to then you could use a Model Power RS-2.Hope that helps a bit, <br />Andrew
