This project distracted me from the Winter Challenge, of working on my layout, but hope now that I finished this one, to continue on that shortly.
More track needs to be ordered before I can do so however, anyhow, back to this project.
Starting out with an old Lifelike Proto2000 GP9 in black widow paint, I stripped the original shell, made some modifications and added detail parts, and painted it in the 'famous' Kodachrome paintscheme, using Vallejo acrylic paints.
Under the hood I installed a Loksound Select decoder, SMD headlight leds with fiberoptic lenses, a sugarcube speaker and I replaced the axles with new replacements by Walthers, as some of the originals had suffered the 'cracked axle gear' syndrome...
I am still awaiting a few other detailparts (wind deflector/mirrors) and need to do some weathering still, but here is where it stands as of this week.
