All,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I was looking at Details West's website earlier and noticed the super detailed Athearn NS Dash 9's. After looking at all the pictures, I noticed that they (the models) had rear-anti-climbers. I know Athearn does not have a the anti-climber molded on the rear, its just a flat pilot. I have searched high and low and can not find any manufacture (all that I know of anyway) that produces a Dash 9 anti-climber. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,
Jason

That part remains elusive. The D9-40C I'm working on, has one cut from a spare Dash 9 walkway.
 
It wouldn't be too hard to scratch build a rear anticlimber. I have done 2 Dash 9s. All I did was lay out some masking tape over the front anticlimber, in-line with the pilot face. Cut the excess tape ahead of the anticlimber to get the proper profile. Then, transfer the tape template to styrene, cut it out and voila!
