Hello all,
I have quite a few Athearn RTR CSX GP38-2's and GP40-2's that I want to detail. I have never really detailed anything before and I really don't know what to get. But I am really wating to detail the pilots.
Here is a couple reference pictures that I found that I was going to use to detail the pilots.
Right now I have the Kato MU Hoses to use. I am also looking at purchasing the Bowser GP38-2 and GP40-2 Detail Kits: http://bowser-trains.com/hoother/calscale/190-524.htm I'm not going to use those MU Hoses. I planing on purchasing these coupler lift bar brackets: http://www.gohobbies.com/item229-2213.html
I think the details from Detail West are nice looking and the price is right but if anyone has any other ideas please let me know. I have other Athearn Engins that have the details and I hate looking at the ones that don't have these details. It just makes them bland.
Thanks,
John Bovinette
The issue That I'm having is finding the other detail parts like the other hoses with the receptacles and the ditch lights.
