NKP GP-9 Detailing
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.
Lance's Model Railroad Design “Best Practices”
Hi,
Lance posted some guidelines on his website today: http://shelflayouts.com/model-railroad-layout-design/design-best-practices/ Most look really good. Just curious what others think about them, especially 30" radius being good enough for passenger cars. Do your experiences agree with this (professional) suggestions?

Atlas HO Gp38 shell removal -SOLVED
In case anyone else runs across this issue, here's the answer. Couplers and pockets need to be removed (which I had done originally). There are NO other tabs, catches, screws or anything else to contend with. It's just a dementedly tight fitting shell.
