This SW1 started out as a SW9 in 3R. I used the NWSL replacement wheel sets and made my own 2R wheel wiper pick-ups. The shell was easy to attach after drilling new holes in the frame. I filed all the detail off of the walkways and added Plastruct tread plate. I also added open grillwork to the radiator openings, top and front. These were 3D prints obtained from All Nation. I added a number of other details and painted and weathered as Fernwood, Columbia & Gulf 600. It runs great and I still use straight 12 VDC. I’m working on another one now that will be Illinois Central.
