The usable space on my work bench as continually was getting smaller and smaller. I had to clean up and I now have room to work. I have also dug out a lot of models that I need to build or get rid of as well. I have decided to work on trio of ALCo’, two RS-3’s and an RS-11. The RS-11 s a rebuild of one I built when I was in collage back in the late 1980’s. When I originally built it, I did a decent job, but I did not modify the windows fuel tank, nor add the train control box. I also used the in correct decals, using the extra serif ones made for the GP-9’s. I was able to new shells for the hood and cab as well as grab irons from Atlas. This time I did make the modifications to the cab windows and add the the train control box. I also modified the fuel tank.

The fuel tank is from an Atlas RSD4/5. I then dded bits of styrene to ends to
create the tank used by the New Haven. |
