Wheeling & Lake Erie "high nose" GP35

A new project made for Alex. This ex Southern Railway loco (therefore the high nose) rides on trade-in Alco trucks. Apart from the "nose job" the loco received my standard treatment with some additional details like fans, fan plates, grab irons, lift rings...what do I tell you...you all know already. The Alco trucks sides are resin casting and glued on filled-down original MTL trucks. Of course custom decals and weathering.

 

That's HOT. The W&LE ran close to me.

 

I like it Gerd! Great job on the decals. It is great to see how the Grande livery also continues in modern Z scale.

 

Fantastic!
The way you create the high hood is seamless! True work of art.

 

Excellent as usual Gerd.

 

Simply put, Fan-Freakin-Tastic!!!!!!

Hey Gerd,
Sounds like the guys kind of like what you do........I'll chime in too and add my kudos. You never deliver less than 'wonderful'

 

How do you make the high short hood? JT

 

Thanks guys, always happy to see that you like my stuff.

JT: chop another GP35 shell's back end off , remove all details and attach to front.

 

Thanks for the info JT
