Thanks to everyone for your comments. The diesel motor is the Walthers Prime Mover EMD engine kit. A few years ago one of my NYC GP7's was having motor problems. I was unable to buy another so I bought a Reading GP7 and used my NYC shell with the new unit. I said maybe some day I'll find a use for the old NYC frame and Reading shell. I just didn't know it would be the forum's April photo contest.

George that's indeed a great job you did on that unit. Was it an Atlas geep? I notice the seam along the bottom of the long hood...

Hi Ken

No it's a 8 or 9 year old Life Like GP7. I think I bought it two years ago for $28.00 to replace one of my NYC GP7's I was having trouble with.

Nice job. I know that didn't happen overnight! Very well composed too I might add. Put it on any mainline in the final days of the PRR or early PC and you might not know its model..LOL

Very, very nice. That'll look fantastic at your new engine terminal!
