    GP7 added long hood bell and barrel lights

    SDP35 added a da 1009 Pyle gyra light between the number boards ways to go

    Nose/cab test from a lines west conversion kit to make a P2K GP7/9/18 into a low nose unit

    This is a test on a Ph2 GP9 not bad

    Hey Vince,
    Sorry I haven't been up to date on some of yer modeling but they all are lookin real good. We had a similar unit here in GJ from the BN back in 1998ish, still in BN green. I think they called it a GP10, I ran it, that thing had all the heart in the world, was kinda slippery but boy it gave you everything it had.
    Great job!

    1422 & 21 were my favorites yes the had the heart of a road unit boy could they lug down and pull

    Yeah loaded down with 107 loaded cars pulling back from Everett junction where a road freight dropped of cars going to bc

    We drug em back at a steady 18mph notch 8 but she did it and yes they did get slippery especially at the crossings

    Thanks for looking

    Yes it fits fairly well little snug but very usable

    And here is my intermountain FP7A that I'm using highliners late F unit grills to replace the stock joke of a version of grills will be my #1 director's special unit

    On to the pics

    If you look you can see the original grills they were actually poorly executed the HL grills are much better

    So I had this U33/36C I was going to high hood but with the high hood nose kits for he's getting hard to come by I'm going to be going back to my Wichita Northwestern WNW

    This U33/36C will become a factory cabless unit on my roster
    .so on to the pics

    The U23B might also end up a cabless pre BN B30-7A type unit

    Here's the U33/36C used a C30-7 hood section to get the doors above the walkway

    Looking good Vince.
    I set one of those headless toasters afire climbing the front range many years ago. They figured a loose or dirty traction motor electrical connection came loose and arced 1000 or so amps and started a fire. It didnt burn the whole thing up, but it did torch the underside LOL.
