The major surgery I did was cut off the pilot, cut off the firebox section in front of the cab, and cut down the air compressor equipment on the front so I could "box it in" to emulate the apperance of a GE999 C62. The loco also recieved backhead detail, LED lights for the headlight and cab light, a new Dalee E unit, and I ordered Gunrunnerjohn's MP3 universal sound board for the project. I can't take credit for the project idea, a good friend of mine named John suggested me to use this loco, he's doing a similar project using an clapped out 8206 Hudson. I plan in the near future to custom paint a couple Lionel Baby madison cars for it!
