Milwaukee & Western Alco RS-11/Baldwin VO-1000...


Might go for something similar later on, but use the
roof from a SD24 cab instead...

Thought I'd take a 'group' photo of the two sisters....where we are so far.
Anyhoo, found winterization hatch in the box, now....is it supposed to cover both the fans on the GP7/9, as it won't fit just covering the forward fan, the stack is in the way....

That's some nice work. I used to do projects like that but I don't knpw if I would want to try it again. Well done. Waiting to see the finished product.
 
I will not have the confidence or skill to try anything like what you do for a while but I SURE enjoy YOUR results!
 
Cant remember for sure about the hatch, but I think you have it correct.
I like the torpedo tubes on the top. NEAT!
 
I find this one interesting as well....

I like your work, especially since I can't do anything like that and have it look decent.

When you get a chance, look up the ATSF's Beep. It was the prototype for what became the CF7 program. The Cleburne shops took a Baldwin switcher and removed the Baldwin power plant, trucks and electrical gear. The transplanted a GP7's trucks, engine, etc., onto the Baldwin frame and cab.

The ATSF wanted to do this to see if it was possible for Cleburne to do a major project like this and to get an idea of the costs and problems a CF7 type program could/would have. The Beep was a shop switcher there for years; I believe it was eventually donated to a museum but am not sure of that.

I really enjoy seeing your work. Nice to see someone who likes to chop and bash things together.
Refreshing!
 
Trying to decide on a standard snow plow for my hood units, stuck between Details West's #110 and #155, any suggestions gentlemen?
