I also agree with the previous replies. P2K's SD60 is a good start. I used it for all three of my SD50's, although I must confess I didn't get real involved with the conversion from SD60 to 50. I've done a Union Pacific SD50 (I pretty much just stripped and repainted it and added some of the details in an SD50 arrangement.) Same with my C&NW SD50, I just renumbered a Zito yellow SD60 and weathered it, it's a pretty good match. Finally the last one I did was for the D&RGW, here too I just stripped it and added the headlight in the nose and then painted and weathered it, and all three turned out I better then if I had used rail power shells. Or at least I think so, plus I probably had all three done in the time it would have taken me to kit bash and complete a rail power shell. <br /> <br />I'm not trying to sway your decision but I did at least want to mention it. <br /> <br />Good luck with your project!!
