Here are a few pics of a couple of HO locomotives that I have detailed. I am pretty new to the hobby, so any feedback, or constructive criticism is welcome! <br /> <br />This is one of the new Athearn RTR C44-9W units and I have added the following detail parts: windsheild wipers, MU hoses (front & rear), a custom made MU cable (also front & rear), a more prototypical snow plow, coupler cut bars, and custom "rusty color" painted Kadee #5s. I also changed the factory ditchlights (which were mounted under the walkway) to ones that more closely match a real NS unit. I also added rear ditchlights (a NS standard) and a train line hose to the rear of the unit. <br />[img]http://home.comcast.net/~kevnbety/RR_Model_Pics_002.jpg[/img] <br />[img]http://home.comcast.net/~kevnbety/RR_Model_Pics_005.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />This is a Kato SD90/43MAC that I have added the following parts to : cab sunshades, MU hoses, & custom "rusty color" painted Kadee #5s. The MU cable as well as the small "cups" that the ends are held in are all pieces that I custom made. I also painted the step edges. <br />[img]http://home.comcast.net/~kevnbety/RR_Model_Pics_007.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />P.S. I am aware that the nose mounted headlight on the NS unit is totally wrong, but that is the way it came. Moving it to the cab where it should be is another project for another day. [sigh] <br /> Thanks for looking, Kevin
