Reply to "Weaver 2R Mopac GP38-2 Project"

Thanks guys! The Atlas parts showed up, so it's now officially a non-DB geep. I also roughed in the new fans based on Michael Eby's Phase 1c drawing:

The forward fan may need to go back - I'll figure it out final locations when the new radiator grilles show up.

The Atlas GP15-1 cab windows were a bust and don't fit the Weaver cab openings, so I'll add a P&D window set to the order. That's OK since they were cheap. Now I'll install separate wipers and do it right. I was hoping to hang the bell high on the long hood, but the former Rock Island GP38-2s all had bells under the frame, so I'll need to fill the slot on the brake cover. A few more pics of the progress:

Have a good night!

Tim
