well for my HO Archer Grain railroad i have built a couple of kitbashes <br />i took a proto 2000 gp18 and added the following <br />Chopped the nose, built a cab simular to Santa Fe's Topeka cab, and milled the fuel tank down. Then took out the air tanks and added new detail associates ones to the sides, instead of behind the fuel tank. Then i added a cab air conditioner, antenna stand, and moved the horn to just behind the cab and added all the piping. Then I cut off the running boards and added mu hoses, air hose, coupler lift bar, mu stands, ditchlights, a low headlight in the nose, and winshield wipers, wire grab irons, and lift rings. then i added 4 exhaust stacks, and new fans. then i added the speed recorders and piping between the brake cylinders on the trucks, then i cut of the outside brakes on the trucks. <br />I named this model the gp19-1. <br /> <br />then i have been working on several gp7u chop noses for the Santa fe. <br /> <br />
