Once I've seen a photo of a prototype like this, I had to use this on a model.
Maybe they were in a hurry to replace the hood doors, or it was already too dark! (No fake, reproduced from real photo!)
SP C-30-1 wood caboose. Built from a Model Power caboose and a Roco Cupola.
If you look elsewhwere in my gallery you will find the unweathered structure. I uses a wash of india ink to tone down the colors.
Work started on another SP SW1500, shown next to SP 2596.
More work completed on kitbashed N scale SW1500 which included a Richmond Controls Lighting module with oscillating lights. More roof details...
