An Athearn CR GP60 in original paint. I added the grabs, the coupler lift bars, lift rings on roof and hoses. I painted the low hood and walkway and handrails also. I had the completed chassis/trucks switched with and NS GP60 when I took this pic.

My new Doodlebug. Now that it's running well, I can't stop using it!
Also, I'm starting to wish there were barns full of cool trains around here.

Shaygetz, My AHM Alco didn't come with a bell, or a hole for one (does have a horn, but not in photo)--Does it look like your bell is factory?

There were 3 spots that looked like missing parts, the horn and what I thought was a bell. The horn was easy enough, I have a bunch of those and it was a drop in fit. It looked like a bell had broken off so I drilled it out and put in one from a busted up Tyco GP20, only to find that they didn't originally come with bells...oh, well
Nice Dbug there, MM. You haven't seen the half of what's in this box

Wow, Garret...
You sure like your Sharks!
I will be sending in a photo as soon as my digi-cam battery is finished charging.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
