North End Coal

Gp49 number 2805 is my first kitbash. I started with an older Bachmann model, which explains the rather klunky handrails. The Gp40 is an Atlas model that received some detailing and weathering. This consist is very reliable and smooth running at switching speeds, so I usually assign them to the North End Coal train. The hoppers in the background are custom painted Atlas models with arched ends added out of strip styrene.
