HI guys. Since the custom paint thread is going so well, I thought why not start one that shows the detail parts we add on these locomotives. Here are my submissions..... C44-9W Side Picture C44-9W side and front detail HLCX SD45.......many different detail parts. More to come soon............. ------------------ Craig Martyn Best Looking Models Around Custom detailing AND N scale detail parts. BLMA N Scale Detail Parts BLMAinfo@aol.com
Hey Craig, how about a list of parts (manufacturers would be nice too) you used on the SD45. You do the speed recorder with just brass wire? And what about the MU hoses? ------------------ Corey Lynch Pres - Rensselaer Model RR Society, NEB&W RR http://www.rpi.edu/~lynchc/Railfanning/railfanning.htm - My Site http://www.union.rpi.edu/railroad/ - NEB&W

I did however make all of the air hoses, the MU hose and the speed recorder. The locomotive also has some Detail Assocaites parts and some Scale Replicas parts. Here are some more photos of my work....
