    some shots of the first two renumbered ac4400. there are some additional warning stickers as well as painted handrails.

    currently missing are the front handrails, the renumbered numberboards and some weathering.

    Were they only renumbered or were they painted, too? Really a good job of renumbering. [​IMG]

    Wrong trucks? What are the correct ones? Why are they different from engine to engine?

    Sandro, looking good!
    What are those pine trees? Did you make them or RTR? I think they look good.

    He's probably refering to the radial trucks. Some CP units have these as well as the standard truck shown on the Kato models.

    I've got the same question. The trucks on CP 9621 is the same as the one KCS use and a number of the CSX units. They are some kind of steerable axle trucks (don't know they "official" name for them). I know there are some other differences, besides the trucks, between the current production Kato 4400s and the ones KCS, CSX, and apparantly some CP units. Does anyone know if they are going to do another run to cover these bases??? I know I would be up for 3 or 4 KCS, but I'd like them to be right though....
