Brandon,

Sorry it's been so long to get back to you. I'm working on another build now, this time a csx sd40-3 sponge bob square cab.

Here's a few details for you off the top of my head on the parts I used on the NS SD60E build:

Cab is from shapeways.com from a builder named "Lurgan." NSModeler24 on YouTube has a good tutorial on how to paint 3d painted plastic. Basically use goo off to clean w a toothbrush, rinse w soap and water, prime and then paint.

I used a ESU Loksound Direct Select (board type) sound decoder recording #73831. I used a Railmaster high bass DS1436-8 mounted in the shell.

The loco was a stock Athearn SD60. I replaced the motor w a Kato HM-5 and a Railpower Ac4400 weight. Ulrich models has a great tutorial on how to do it as well as all the necessary parts. The results are dramatic.

I'll post the rest of the detail parts soon.

Brad
