With all I have on-hand, I can do no more. All that's left is to reassemble the Proto drivetrain and then figure out how the heck to wire in the ditch lights.
I am also debating swapping the truck sideframes for the plastic Athearn versions... I thought the Protos seemed weak but I was amazed to see how much better the Athearn ones look.
The pics are not the best quality because of Todd's resize-request and me trying to keep the filesizes small. It looks better in person, truly.
Obviously this isn't exactly the right forum for this kind of work, but I figured I would share now that it's done. This will be the last time I spam with this kind of stuff.

Well-done! Can't wait to see it running on the 'tube! Custom decals too?

Thank you....
The decals are a Microscale set... 99% of them anyway. I had to make the electrical warning labels, the road# for the rear nose, and the "L" in the middle of the engineer's side sill.
The set was especially difficult to apply aroun the front of the locomotive, and n the brakeman's side, to make sure the pattern aligned properly.

WOW! Excellent Work! Difficult striping/decal job and done very well!
Love the flags on the roof! The flags bring back memories of the GM&O to me. Remember seeing the green and white flags on the GM&O geeps and f-units way back when.
