New Project - Proto 2000 SD45 to SP 7999

[kjd]

"Engine Start Switch Inside" and the other one might be "???????? Water Fill" The one near the cab probably says "Danger 600 Volts"

The Label next to the door says either “Danger 600 Volts” or “Danger 800 Volts” I have an SD45 but I can’t find any of the other labels on mine.

Nearly there, it's back on its wheels and the handrails are on. Some touching up still needing before the transfers go on:

Looks fantastic.

Transfers on (barring long hood tiny lettering)

Looks outstanding I love the Los Angeles decal on it, everything seems to fit together. Hope to see more things come together this nice in the future

If you or anyone has an extra 'Los Angeles' I could use one for my HO model of MRL 7544. It only had it on the conductor's side.

Looks great

Still the odd bit to do I think but it is as good as I am going to get it:

This thread will probably become my general locomotive workbench thread at some point.

The good news is that finally a stock of Details West HL-200 headlights have appeared so a certain SD40 number 7342 is on the cards...

I've just compared this foto to one of a Proto model, and if I didn't know about the number boards I doubt I could tell the difference. amazing job.
