A pair of naked ladies!

[DanRaitz]

Here is what I have been working on for the last few months. They are modeled after BN's B32-8s.
More info can be found on my thread at the Diesel Detailer forum.

Very nice work and presentation Dan, shows the enormous amount of detail before putting their dresses on

Cheers

Damn, here I was expecting to see some hott exposed prime mover action!
In all seriousness, can't wait to see them painted.

Sweet! What are the differences between a B32-8 and a B40-8? The cab?

NS has a bunch of them and I want to model them, but no one makes a B32-8 in HO at the moment.

The NS B32-8's are pretty much in B40-8 Carbodies. The B32-8's that are being built are of GE's demo units which BN tested for a while. I actually took a picture of the remains of one at the GE plant back in 2001.

Why does GE have an Amtrak coach?

What are the external differences between the 40 and NS's 32s?

Very nice Dan!
The details really stand out when they're naked...

What are the external differences between the 40 and NS's 32s?

The D8-32B has 2 fewer engine compartment doors and has a 3' shorter bolster spacing compared to the D8-40B.

To model one you could use parts from Atlas B40-8 and D8-32BW shells and a Atlas B30-7 chassis.

Will they be seeing paint anytime soon?

Hi Dan,

Great job on the progress of these units! I was wondering how they turned out, but shaving been banned from the DDF, I wasn't able to follow. Anyhow, great job, and I look forward to seeing them in Cascade green at some future point!

Very nice! i've long thought about going in the other direction, and kitbashing these Railpower shells into C39-8s, but i haven't quite figured that one yet.

Green,

Check out Ed Ryan's 2 part article on modeling the NS C39-8 in the August and September 1993 RMC's (Railroad Model Craftsman).
Or, Ed Sanicky's article on modeling a Conrail C39-8 in the September 1992 Mainline Modeler.
