    I have another build going along with the GP35M. I bought the dynamic brake insert and Kadees to make it look better. This is an unpowered unit for my static model train collection. So far I have the dynamic brakes and Kadees added and the shell painted up for Conrail 3307, the decals aren't done yet. GP40-2 1.JPG GP40-2 2.JPG GP40-2 6.jpg GP40-2 8.jpg

    The next one in the planning stage is this gem, Blue Box U33-B. It will be a Guilford B&M unit, BM190. I need rails but lucked out and found a shell on ebay with rails. U33B Guilford.jpg BM190 U33B Scraton PA 1985.jpg
