CN GP9r 4635

I can do real too, or try to anyway. This being much harder than it seems. GP9 with a low nose which is actually based on prototype, not chopped but entirely new nose from something else. Or shop built. Not sure which. New cab. Significantly altered walkway frame detail. 48" cooling fans. Looked like a slam dunk to me but is one of the few models I started and then set aside attempt #1 and started over. There are still issues if you are counting rivets but I shoot for stable and usable as well as quality fits and finishes at a price point which is not approaching brass. We do learn to "live with what is possible" in N scale. Sad to say but some times true. If you want the interesting stuff. Up side. This is cool. It runs like a Swiss Watch. Pulls really well despite it's small size. Had it yanking 8 cars up my unrealistic 4% grade without any signs of a slip or stall impending. Cool or not. I let you be the judge.
