Look! It's not a building

[Catt]

Just to show you guys I'm a multi-talented kind of Catt heres a pic of a nonexistant locomotive that now exists

I like thebig Dash 8/9 series of locos,but I prefer them with the Canadian 4 window cab.Now this one doesn't have one YET! but it will soon ( actually it won't this shell is just a holding fixture).

The pedigree in A B K order

1 ATLAS SD60M 3 window cab

2 Bachmann Dash 8 40CW shell

3 KATO C30-7 running gear

Cab is shortened the thickness of the rearwall to make it the right length for the -8.Equipment doors are replaced with blank styrene.Bodyshell is not altered in anyway.

The C 30-7 chassis needs mods to work in this shell.The 8-40C conversion needs no mods to the C-30 chassis.

I like it!
I'm still working on my ED-65. It's an E-6's cab and rear. On an SD-50 chassis and center, giving veranda style sides. With a touch of grills off a V-1100 . Anyways I think it'll look sweet.
Just have to decide on the roof layout, and paint scheme (know the colors, not where to put'em).
Ain't Bash'n fun!

Here's nuther pic of the above unit.Really! only this time the cab is on it's intended bodyshell. Note the in process 3 to 4 window cab conversion.

Final paint for this beastie will be GTW blue with white lettering.

And YES!!,bash'n is a blast.
