Santa Fe B23-7 #6414

N scale Atlas B23-7. This was easily the hardest loco to detail, but well worth the effort. Details include cut levers, MU hoses, air hoses, new plow, rear view mirrors, windshield wipers, sunshades, beacon stand, AC unit and antenna and stands. I relocated the horn to the very front of the cab. I covered up the numberboard holes with metal from a BLMA sprue and painted them black and added new numbers. The stock FB-2 trucks were swapped with some AAR-B trucks to match the new loco number, and because I like them more and think they look better. I also installed some Z scale couplers and a Digitrax DCC decoder. Look at my other pictures for an "in progress" shot of the roof.
