I have always liked Electric locos and always wished more would get produced. To me it seems like they keep making the same old locos over and over again. So I decided to cut up a couple of Williams E 60 shells and make it more kind of scale also using a MTH U30c Chassi. This just the beginning.

I have a E60 and an extra shell to build a E60CF version....someday
Being an electric fan, I like what you did. Thanks for showing it.
Show up more!
Its going to take a while to make this look good. I am going to use a MTH pantograph I purchased some time ago. I have to make the electrical components for the roof out of maybe wood and then resin cast them. maybe I should cast the shell when finished too. trying to go by the HO scale one as a reference. Its not going to be scale but its going to look a hell of lot better than the Williams version. I don't understand why it was made like it was for a cartoon. I have some Williams Metroliner cars and MTH Amfleets I am going to eventually turn into a scale Metroliner.
super cool !
I have some spare Williams aluminum metroliner shells that I was keeping for a project that never materialized. Ping me if interested.
I have two sets and they are both plastic. I never seen metal ones.
I was referring to passenger car (Metroliner) shells, not E-60 cabs.
Yes, I have two sets and they are both plastic not metal. Never seen metal cars.
