Sweep locomotive

The sweep loco was the first locomotive I scratch built. It was done over 12 years ago. It started out as an Athearn SW1200 that I cut the the cab and rear section off. I then took a GP9 shell and cut off the long hood to fit on the frame along with the cab from the SW1200. I leant a lot form building this locomotive. The is a link from my webpage showing a close up of the sweep loco.   http://www.trainweb.org/ddminingsteel/sweep56.html
