    Josh, The pilots are not a problem, Brian Banna was onto me about doing them a while ago and yes they will be available. The steps are quite close to DP 1079 - the EMD SD Generic Steps. You'll be safe with them. I measured up an old SP GP35 this weekend and the older GP steps were...

    GP35 Steps Josh, I managed to measure and photograph 9803 today. It was built as an SP GP35 in 1964 I think. Would these steps do? I also found an measured up a Guilford GP40 that was idling in Connecticut last weekend for the pilots and steps. The GP35 steps are noticeably different...

    If I wasn't clear, I do have early pilots coming too even though they were not used on Dash 2's. One early mod of our GP Walkway Module will be a new scale walkway duct for straight GP's. This is a separate part from the walkway molding but its included in the basic module. We have both SD...

    Yes!!!! Thanks for the review Chris, see you around tomorrow hopefully, I'm in CT tonight. I have a vast amount of US step, pilot and sill variations to match the walkway modules that will start arriving in the next few weeks. On the way down I was able to photograph some old GP40's and...

    Stolen Thunder I do not know the rationale behind the "Thunder" post as left by BNSF Dude. SD38-2, SD40-2, SD45-2, SD50S all used the same basic frame. So did the GP38-2, GP39-2, GP40-2, GP50 which is why I'm doing both the GP and SD frames at the same time. What is not realized in his...

    Guys, Thanks. Check things out and see the products for your self. The new tread-plates are excellent as they accurately represent the tread applied to locomotives and not the industrial versions commonly used for the design of after market kits. New pilots and steps for American...

    Walkway Modules Ryan, Christoper, and gang, A Google search brought me to this conversation. Christoper is going to find out very shortly what high tech tooling is all about. A set of the new DP 1061 EMD Coupler Plates and DP 1066 EMD GP Jack Pads was sent out a few days ago for him...
