Yesterday I completed the GP42X project (no such loco exists so don't try searching). It's all Athearn and consists of a GP38-2 chassis, a GP50 body topped with a GP60 dynamic brake hatch.
Also done yesterday was something I'd been meaning to do for some time. I have two 70's era Atlas/Roco GP40's*. The screwdriver notchs in the fuel tanks always bugged me so yesterday I filled them in with Testor's contour putty and painted the area over. Here's one of them showing the notch filled in.
* both of my Atlas/Roco GP40's have been refitted with Bachmann GP40 shells which are somewhat more detailed and have better looking hand rails.
