    poll - modeling interests - locale

    SD60 vs SD50

    NO, they share the same chassis (frame).

    SD60 vs SD50

    To my understanding the only external difference between the SD50 and SD60 are the number of doors beneath the radiator grills. They use the same chassis and trucks. Dan

    Need ID, GP 38 or GP 40 BAchmann Diesel?

    Seeing that it has 3 fans in the radiator section, then it is definitly not a GP38 (which has only 2 fans). To me it looks like a GP40. Dan

    Low nose Geeps

    Greg, The only low nose GP7/9 that I know of is the Walthers. Nice runner, but body is TOO WIDE. I would suggest going with the Atlas or P2K GP's and doing a nose job on them. Dan

    Ralph, Ask the saleperson at your LHS if he has an open copy, that you could look at first before buying. I'll bet that he does and would gladly let you see it. Dan
