I had posted about a month ago. Someplace. About ML8 upgrades. You figure some are prewar age. With a lot still in use today. And cheap. I daw one for sale while researching. 5 grand upgraded in the 70s. The old leroy gas engine removed and newer lights and. Diesel engine installed. With bigger compressors. Anyway, after I researched a bit I took my critter and did detail changes to mimic upgrades. New exhaust, "New" light. A lot.of lights were off scrapped steam. Cheap and reddily available. A new paint job and light weathering. Sand dome off and a sand hatch on. Bell moved. Air horns. Basically all the common changes. I posted pics in the gallery. Anybody else doing upgraded to thiers?

Edit: Do be careful when opening package, the Plastic cover on the foam was not taped down on mine. I ended up with a trip to the floor (no visible damage).
