    Is this a custom job? The pictures show up (for me at least) as just the dreaded "X" box (no, not that one...) I'm guessing this is the one we saw in construction photos of earlier.

    OT, but Ski - where in St Louis? I ask as a graduate of U City HS and an alleged WashU student.

    Russ,
    You done good, son! :D
    I saw some UP SD75's, they had flaired raidiators I forget the designation, is it 'I' or something? :confused:
    Didn't Craig Martyn build a SD75I?
    Anyway, looks cool dude!

    2slim :D

    Excellent work, Russ. Looks a treat! [​IMG]
    Even though I am not a ATSF fan, the red/silver warbonnet scheme is one of the best ever. It truly is a timeless design.

    as said above, AWESOME job Russ! I am VERY impressed (I bet you hear that a lot! :D ). Glad to see my parts in such great use!

    2slim: I built a UP SD70M with flared radiators a while back, but I used Overland SD90MAC sideframes and Russ used the new Kato SD90MAC sideframes which make a huge difference!! I may have to go back and redo mine! :)
