Thanks for the "Big Grins"...those high hood GP30's are just about my favorite diesels. This one only turned out so-so...I'm really not happy with the paint job or the joint where the two nose shells meet. I'm hoping the decals (currently on order) will cover over the "problem areas." But I added the bell (sorry, no pictures of that yet) and that really makes the nose look much better...giving it that "brute" look that those high hood Geeps have. Now that I know some of the pitfalls, I plan on doing a better job on my next attempt. I might keep trying to build these things till I get it right. Besides, you can never have enough high hoods on a Norfolk Southern layout. Mark
