Been working on the GP9 this week. Decided I liked how the Belt Railway of Chicago geeps looked, so here's a couple of photos.

GP9 - Good amount of progress made recently. Model will be based off of a BRC (Belt Railway of Chicago) GP9. Still needs a repower kit or an Atlas F9 for drive.

Things to do (GP9):

Replace fragile plastic parts, like lift rings, grab irons, hand rails, etc., with stronger brass parts
Lights
Purchase P&D repower kit or Atlas F9 (For trucks and motor)
Paint
DCC & Sound (Loksound V5 with Tang Band speaker)

F3 - May need to replace shell and start over. Previous brand of glue used 'frosted' a few parts. I was very unhappy with what happened so in my infinite wisdom, I pulled the parts off. Very bad idea.

Things to do (F2/F3/F7/F9):

Replace shell
Lights
Paint
DCC & Sound (Loksound V5 with Tang Band speaker)
