Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since Ive been on here but since then I've gotten a hold of an Athearn HO scale NS SD60...The only reason I bought this was to detail it and then showcase it (since I model N scale)
But heres my question, apparently it was supposed to come with ditchlights and MU hoses and some piping on the trucks...but it didnt. Im not mad, just expected more from Athearn lol. So where can I find these parts? Ive been looking around but te websites ive found all seem to have no way to order....
Also, whats your opinions on the best paint combo to make a rust/dirty/used color (know what I mean? hah). Im going to use an airbrush, but im just curious what the best paint is that i should buy for that kinda weathering.
Third, Ive seen this alot on mostly NS locomotives, including the prototype of my model (the one seen in this photo). But what im looking at is the yellow...thing...on the rear truck, anyone know?

I know it's alot but all the help I could get would be awesome!
So finally, heres the beast in question:
Thanks,
-Nate
