I spent the last two weeks on holiday in Pennsylvania,while I was there, I had planned on buying more locomotives, rolling stock, and Kadee couplers for my railroad at home in England.
I wanted at lest one Dash 9 in Norfolk Southern colours, but when I went into Genes Trains,model store, just outside Altoona, he only had Athearn undecorated AC4400,s. However, they were on sale for just $40 each, so I bought three, plus a couple of Microscale decal sheets for Norfolk Southern locos.
I know that there are a few details that are different between Dash 9,s and AC4400,s but I can live with those. I,ve already blanked off the original nose mounted headlights, and redrilled fresh holes between the number boards.My next job is to spray all three black, so I can put the decals on.
