I have begun to do my first major project, a CNW "chopped nose" SD-9. I have cut the nose down and have started to work on the cab. The cab is a Athearn SD-9, so I took a front window panel from another shell and reworked it to fit on the SD cab. My problem is that on the prototypes the numberboards are positioned with the top of the cab blending in.( you railbuffs know what I mean) No one makes a undec GP-9 lownose I can use and a numberboard on the u boats are not right. I did cut a numberboard off a GP to see if it would work. It would but the rounded top of the cab and the numberboards won't blend in, so I thought of trying to blend it in using putty. <br />Can anyone give me other ideas or any help?
