Kato Dash 9 upgrades Pictures

[calzephyr]

When the Kato units first came out many years ago now, I tried to add some upgrades to enhance the look. I ended up working on 4 with these modifications and sold off the other 4 since the work and detail took a lot of time. The Kato units did not have the air conditioner since their model was one of the first units. The Santa Fe did use this early phase truck on the first 50 units, but many were changed out later on while being serviced in the shop. It was a fun project and the added details can be applied to most of the early AC units for other roads also.

Thanks. I liked the Kato model but needed to add some detail.
I have a bunch of the Atlas Santa Fe 8-40CW's that need the same detail but that project is on hold for now.
