Really good work Ryan!
Those cabs on the SCL units look good and the GP38-2 is great. But is you NS stallion anatomically correct? Once had an old N&W guy say he "was going make the horse correct!" Same guy called NS...."Near Southern".

Jim, love the "red bird". If I might ask, whose wipers did you use? Bob

Thanks, Jim. "Near Southern" is about the most favorable name I've heard for NS.
Your GP30 turned out great. Any plans on some companion locomotives for it?

Well I want to do SD7, SD9, GP7, GP9 in both blackbird and redbird. Those ghostly gray F-units using Highliners and Genesis drives. GP20, SD24, GP30 phase I and II, GP35 and GP40, including the one that got the experimental pre-BN green paint job. If I had any talent I'd try my hand at a U23C and triple clasp SD45.

When I built the U33B and U36B I had two U23B long hoods and two U33C shells minus the portion of the long hood I used for the B-boats. I assembled one pair into a U23C shell and considered painting it for either Santa Fe or BN. I ended up just giving it to a friend who models Santa Fe a little earlier than me so it would actually fit into his era.
Of course everything you mentioned is something I'd love to see. A lot of that same equipment called Fort Worth home before the big Powder River coal invasion of the 70s.

a little late, but I brought chips: ![](https://i.imgur.com/JtY67Bk.jpg) Some cheap craft foam roughed into a mound shape with some scrap wood dowels to prop it up. Then painted with tan craft paint, rolled in sawdust and allowed to dry. Then sprayed with some spray adhesive and rolled in chips again. Kinda think the chips could be lighter in color, but it'll do for now.

Details are done and painted on my Norfolk Southern Locotrol master SD50 and SD60 models. I got rid of the bulbs, so LEDs are the next step, along with some weathering. New 3D printed cabs are installed on the Seaboard U-boats: ![](http://www.pbase.com/mecrharris/image/168192991/large.jpg) ![](http://www.pbase.com/mecrharris/image/168192992/large.jpg) ![](http://www.pbase.com/mecrharris/image/168192993/large.jpg) I need to get some of those cabs for 3 PC U Boats I have waiting on the bench ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , they look fantastic!
