You have a like and a new subscriber! I will be working my way through your back catalogue of videos. “If it looks right - it is right” is my modelling mantra. I’m not a rivet-counter but things have to look “right”, which perhaps puts me in the same mindset as you. I model UK practice, but I have an interest in US railroads. Looking forward to seeing how this loco progresses! Best wishes from Wirral.
@darrenhillman8396 cheers mate, much appreciated. I call it 90% correct. Don't get me wrong, I am impressed by those that spend the time to build prototype accurate models and they look beautiful, but I just don't have the energy myself 😉😅. Feel free to post comments and ask questions. I am also on Facebook and Instagram (though not a big Instagram poster) so feel free to look me up 👍
Good afternoon, I am sure you have watched it but certainly worth it "New York & Atlantic freight action. 2019-2024". Interesting that the locos show red lights to the rear even when coupled to a train.
@andyknott8148 cheers mate. I will take a look but I did know about the red rear lights as I fitted them to my NYAR GP38-2. I think it is a throw over from when these were LIRR locomotives for when they were at the rear of a push pull train. Problem is that the NYAR crews sometimes forget to switch off 🤣
@@andyknott8148 just found it. It is from the Retired Railfan Horn Guy. He is the person who told me what horn I needed for my NYAR GP38-2 that I was then given by a very nice person 😉
If your planning in fitting sound I have a block off a Atlas GP38-2. The one underneath the fans. It's cut down so a speaker can be fitted. If you want it PM or email your address and I'll send it to you.
@csxrensville5105 thanks for the offer. I have done some measurements and have plenty of room inside for my Soundtraxx Blunami PNP/ Iphone speaker/ Lais DCC keepalive set up
Acquiring all the needed detail parts is quite an achievement in itself. Can’t wait to see this project unfold!
@awblenko thank you my friend.
Good start to the project, looking forward to seeing your progress. And thanks for the shout out about the MR article.......I've made the big time!
@billwilcox1060 no problem mate. Thanks for the tip, very useful
Your energy is what keeps me coming back! stay tuned my friend :)

I'm looking forward to this series. It's amazing what a difference the little details make.
@jimbarrett1975 don't get you hopes up mate, it could be a disaster 😂

Great video. Wife is out tonight so will settle down with a drink and watch the full 2 hours
