Nice Jerome!:)

Got anything planned for the critter yet? I still have 4 GP's and an Alco ahead of it in the erecting shops!

This is NS's experiment in replacing the 12-645 with a 12-710. The stuff on the roof is for additional cooling. The experiment was put on halt, and this thing left the shop and was put back in service with its original prime mover and no logos on the weird looking hood.

Eric,

that is a bit of a monster, isn't it? Looks like it was an MP-15DC once.

Jerome,

maybe I ask for a bit of help in identifying detail parts? What sort of horn and air conditioner does Rssx 7 have? Which detail parts are suitable? Also, which handrail type is that?

I think I've almost got everyting now. Just need handrails, AC, horns, marker light covers and roof vent. Oh, and decals.

Thanks, Paul
 
Paul, the a/c unit is this

-Details West AH-158 vapor type.

As for the horn, your going to have to custom make that one. I'd start with this one

-Details West AH-254. Trim off the mounting pin, make a new baet from brass stock with an L shaped bend in it and mount it to the front of the cab.
