My summer tourist work load has subsided and I am now able to return to working on my neglected projects. This has sat dormant for almost three months and will be my first completion since the layoff. Converting an Atlas GP into a "chop nose" unit of which the MEC had quite a few of. Matt Hogan, Old Goat, used a Red Caboose donor shell to make the lower hood and cab. The modification required the removal of the front motor.
