Too cool!! I modelled the BN in N-scale, early 70's era, before going to Z-scale and doing the Milwaukee Road in the 60's!
Those units look good. I have been wanting to do a BN 2211. This unit was wrecked or shopped at one point and had a GP 35 cab installed on it. It looked like an odd ball not only for that reason but also because the windows on the side of the cab were different as well. I just wish I could find photos of her after her accident.
This discussion has been had on one of the forums before, and pictures were around. I also think one of the BN annuals has pics.
I have some roster shots of the BN 2211 after the accident. Even on a CD waiting for me to work on. I'll try to post them by the end of the week. Until then, here is the 2211 beside a regular BN GP35 for comparison that I already had ready. Brian Ambrose
