Here are a couple of passenger diesels that I built using a pair of old Model Power diesels. They're not really kitbashed: more like rtr meets parts and paint. They're built using a photo of a couple of VIA units that I photographed near Bayview, Ont. several years ago. I co-opted the CNR freight paint scheme and added details to suit my free-lanced EG&E. The rear of the roof with the big fan was sliced off and turned 180 degrees to get it into the proper position. Lots of parts from Detail Associates, including the grillwork. The hardest part was the fuel tanks (couldn't find a good photo). They were scratchbuilt, as were the icicle breakers. If you have one of the original Model Power FAs around, you can see where the body panels have been removed and new ones, complete with new batten strips, have been installed. This is one of my all-time favourite prototypes, as evidenced by the fact that I had to time-travel from my usual modelling period of the late 'thirties all the way forward to 1958,just to get this photo. The pair are pulling a train of modified Rivarossi heavyweights, all rebuilt using New England Rail Service windows, plus lots of PSC, NERS, and scratchbuilt underbody details.
