I am in the process of removing the dynamic brake housing on two Athearn Gp-7 loco s in order to turn them in to a couple of Rock Island units. Can anyone, who has done this, tell me the best way to fill up the holes left in the top of the body shells ? I started by poping off the sides of the brake housing and then drilled out the top. Then i used a needle files to remove the excess material until it was flush with the body. Do you just use styrene and spot glazing to build it back up to match the contours of the roof line or what? thanks for the help, fadkins
