I completed an Athearn SD-70m some years ago, replacing the cab with a Canadian style one. I don't recall the assembly of the added parts, but assume they are as you stated. <br /> <br />I was recently asked by a friend to add the detail parts to a Kato diesel - I think it may have been an AC4400. Anyway I too was amazed with the number of grab irons, handrails, windshield wipers, etc, that had to be added! I was glad that I had some sprue cutters, because these parts were so small and fragile. It took me over an hour to add them all, and I consider myself an advanced modeler. So I imagine someone with less experience would have more difficulties. I use a workbench lamp with a built in magnifiyer, and this certainly helped. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
