I am finally done with my Southern Pacific SD38-2. I have 2 under construction right now. the second one is almost ready for paint. what i did was add a new cannon cab with the rebuilt L window front from Hi-Tech details. then I added a new sub base with the SP split equipment doors. you also have to add a nose light. i seriously doubt that Kato will have all of the proper SP details if they decide to release a SP unit. <br /> <br />if you dont want to go as far as i did, all you really need to do to the Kato unit is add a nose light and a rooftop bell. <br /> <br />here are some shots of my SP SD38-2 that i just finished![:D][:D] <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/Model%20trains/sp%20sd38-2%202972%201.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/Model%20trains/sp%20sd38-2%202972%202.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/Model%20trains/sp%20sd38-2%202972%203.JPG[/img] <br /> <br />and here is a shot of the prototype from http://espee.railfan.net <br /> <br />[img]http://akpierce.20m.com/Model%20trains/2972_sp-sd38-2-ken_perry.jpg[/img] <br />
