    Simply beautiful. Must be a great feeling to have a unique model on your layout!

    Well done

    Very nicely done. Are there more B-units in your future?

    No more B units.

    I have 3 units now. (2 x B30-7A, 1 x SD40-2B) That is enough to run on the layout. The only reason I decided to do a SD40-2B is I have too many of the early phase Kato units. I am actually finished with locomotives. I have a F45 on order and need to get two GP50s on the roster. I figure someone will make one in the near future.

    Now that I am done with motive power I have several rollingstock and MOW scratch build and kitbash projects on the drawing board.

    Looks GREAT Tony! I wish I had that kind of skill. What kind of MOW projects are you thinking. I know I loved that BN MOW caboose you did a while back.

    I am going to kitbash another variant of the DIFCO Dump car and scratch build a ex-GN plow.

    Yes

    BN 972503 Built in the GN St. Cloud shops. I am just trying to find some dimentional data before I start to help with drawings. I have a ton of photos so I may just have to base dimentional data on some know dimentions such as truck size or width.

    Will be made from styrene and beer cans. Till have to drink the beer before I get started.

    I would love to have a copy of this one! You may need to start a new thread for this buildup....

    I know its an old thread, but Tony, do you have any inprogress pics still?

    I got all the parts to do this unit. Have an idea on how I'll do it.

    Was originally planning on 7501, as I felt that would have been the easiest of the 3, but parts for 7502 more or less fell into my lap.
