Well just to let everyone know I went to the last show and didn't find too much in the way of parts for the project,but I didn't walk away empty handed either,My free items were a GP7,that I said was in pretty rough shape and the guy said take it,it's no good not even for parts,so I did and I took it apart and the motor wouldn't even turn,out it came from the frame and with a little gentle turning back and for it broke free,next test power and away it went,so it came apart got cleaned and looks nice and new now,so for nothing I got a motor that works,and the frame is ok now too after a lot of cleaning,the shell is being stripped of 5 layers of paint slowly,so it looks like I'll have some more fun playing around.Oh ya the pinesol tip does work nicely
.
The other free stuff was a SP trainmaster shell which will get stripped and become a SP Black Widow version and an athearn dummy switcher from which I can use the dual stacks for the gmd1 project and use the shell and chasis for a damaged locomotive load for a flatcar load or find another motor and have it running.
So that's all the news I have for today until the next show or find some good buys for the project from whereever..
