    Wpf 4-6/4-12

    Yes, Genesis unit. The stripes on the SP unit gave me some issues when stripping. Basic stripping & repainting... QRR Fan (Nicholas) sent the unit to me last fall, and I just finished up, after waiting on some replacement parts from Athearn (those dang headlight lenses disappeared). The...
