Ned Help -- Correct Canon & Co. fans for SP SD-9 and GP-9's

Hello all,

I'd like to replace the fans on my P2K SD9 and GP9's but I'm having trouble knowing which ones would be appropriate. I do' not see a correct replacement from Canon and company listed. Which 36 and 48 would work for mid 70's GRIP program 9E/R's?

Also referencing the picture in the link below there is an odd flat top 36" fan on the rear of this GP9. What would be appropriate?

Steps for Athearn SD40

Hi,

I'm working on an Athearn SD40, and I'd like to add etched steps. As of yet, I have not been able to find any. Please note that this is an SD40, not an SD40-2. (Athearn RTR, late 2015). Are there steps made for this model? Would an SD40-2 set work? 

Thanks,

Looking for HO Scale Atlas S1 in Bath and Hammondsport scheme

This model came out in 2007.

I will be modeling the Bath and Hammondsport Railroad and planned on doing it in N scale but after seeing the amount of detail present on HO models while I was at Prototype Rails 2016, I'm looking to see if I can find the Atlas S1 engines.

Both engine numbers 4 and 5 were produced and those are what I'm looking for.

If anyone has any leads, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,

Mark

Replace Atlas RS36 frames with Athearn RS3 frame

I have four Atlas RS36 locos, two each in Norfolk and Danville and in Norfolk, Franklin & Danville for my collection. Plus I have two RS32s to represent future Arkansas & Missouri locos  that were rebuilt and painted on the Maryland & Delaware RR in Federalsburg, MD in the mid Eighties before deploying to Arkansas along with some T6 and C420 locos (Tony Hannold owned both railroads at the time).

Otter Creek Railway: (yet another) returning to my HO railway ideas...

Hello again, it's been so very very long since I've been here, things have been rough for me. High school begun, new forms of stress, and personal matters are keeping me far busier than ever before. I even find it hard to set aside time for my art. However, recently, I found myself thinking about new equipment for my O gauge collection. Then, I started thinking about EMD BL-2s. Unfortunately, BL-2s in O gauge tend to be rather...    Ehh....
