I started to detail a Front Range GP-9 for the Nickel Plate. I picked up a Front Range shell on ebay last year, and earlier this year I got a great deal on a Proto 2000 drive. It's not an exact fit, but a little trimming here and there, and I got the shell on. I had to file a bit on the underside of the non-dynamic hatch to clear the DCC recepticle. The shell had a slight crack on the left side, but I filled it in and sanded it down.

I have most of my diesel builds available on my Fotki account. You will find anything from an M-420 to a C-430 there. You can click on the slideshow button to see the photos full size. Why did I build a C-430? Because none was available until I finished mine. Please enjoy the builds.

I'm back at work with my "What If?" SD15-2. It's built using Atlas, Cannon, and Smokey Valley parts. I figure with so many SD-30s being made, I'd divide it in half.
