Starter HO shell for alco T6 ?
Posted by dragonriversteel on Sunday, May 7, 2017 7:30 AM

Really want this alco & have had no luck on e-bay finding one. 

What would be a good starter shell ?  S4 with RS-11 nose & fan housing ? What grills would one need from what shell ? I know from research that the front cab windows are different too.

Hopefully by the time it is finished. A HO manufacturer will come out with one...

Wishful thinking.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Guess I'm luckier than you are in the finding department.

There's other sources besides E-bay.  Brasstrains has sold a few, though there are none right now.
