    Yellow. I'm thinking contrast against whatever color is behind it.

    The orange looks a bit dark.

    Okay gang here's something I actually paid to get I worked through Jeff Briggs at Kaslo to get it done

    Because lines west took my money forv2 of his bn GP10 cabs and noses over a month ago and paypal says still pending So hoping to get a refund from lines west

    Anyways back to today I asked Jeff if he could do a bn GP10 kit for the p2k gp7 and gp9

    Mail call today I got 5 of these the first 5 from Kaslo making my day

    The GP10 kit include thin wall cab separate number boards set up like canon cabs to have the glass sit flush, low nose includes a step behind fireman's side of cab, cab sub base with exhaust stacks, horst angled hood air box, snow plow, correct fuel tank with separate ends, separate cab roof, all weather windows x2, anticlimbers x2, winterization hatch,

    So now I can get ready to build several GP10 for the IRRY

    And the radiator fans are for another project not with the GP10 kit

    I'm just a happy modeler trying to fill holes in the market

    I don't work for kaslo just buy his products he's my model pimp :confused::cool::eek::sneaky::rolleyes:

    Well life sucks with my divorce heating up and stuff

    I'll be moving into a cracker box

    No room for a ho scale layout

    Switching to n scale because it's my only choice now of being able to model anything train wise

    Will be posting my ho stuff over the next several weeks for sale and or trade for n scale stuff that fits my fall 1979 era
