For the project you need a high hood undec unit and a new sill/walkway peice with the button type latchs. I have thought about doing a BN SD40-2 B unit, I figure you would need a SD40-2, a high hood (atlas or something, theres a canadian company that makes ethced metal ones)and a little styren to fill the gap and walal.

As for the SD40-2 B-units, I think we can start a new thread for this. Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page TrainBoard Moderator and Member No.377 N to the Nth degree!
