Interesting point on the mold Dave. I wonder if that was the reason for the GP-35 having such a grossly out of scale (width) hood.. <br /> Sure would be nice if Athearn would go through all those previous shells and correct the hood width now that they have the narrow motor. But then again, I suppose they'd be asking over $100.00 for a unit then.. This will really date me, but I remember paying around ten bucks for a brand new Athearn switcher, with flywheels!!! <br />HEY, that just reminded me of something. When I was a kid, I remember a guy in our MRR club had a switcher that actually "idled", this thing would sit there at low voltage and you could hear the motor running, but it didn't move until you applied more voltage. Does anyone here know what I am talking about? I have NO idea as to the manufacturer, Varney perhaps? <br /> Todd C.
