i actually got a couple of things done this weekend.[:D] the first is an old Alco models brass SD45T-2. i stripped off the old paint, added a new nose light, removed the screen grills and added S&S grills, added new fans, added a post to make a modified L window, and moved the horn. then i painted it up in the speed lettering scheme. it still needs some glass for the windows, and most importantly, it needs a new motor. it has a mashima can motor, but it has no flywheels. so i have to find a motor that will fit and shove it in there. here is what i ended up with: [img]http://akpierce.20m.com/so%20sd45T-2%20model%201.JPG[/img] [img]http://akpierce.20m.com/sp%20sd45t-2%20model%202.JPG[/img] [img]http://akpierce.20m.com/sp%20sd45t-2%20model%203.JPG[/img] [img]http://akpierce.20m.com/sp%20sd45t-2%20model%204.JPG[/img] the next project was quite a bit harder. this is a Kato SD45. i added the Sunrise Enterprises front and rear light packages, and added a plow. then i painted it up in the SP kodachrome paint scheme. this is the first time i have tried a paint job other than just a 2 ton dip. it turned out pretty well for my first try. after i apinted it i added a beacon to the roof and weathered it with chalks and it was done. soooo, tell me what you think of my new SD45R....
