The inner windshield wipers are on the list of things to be altered.
It has the Canadian Pacific style of steps, stops the snow accumulation. I'm getting to be an expert on North American trains.

I was trying to find an excuse to not have to make the complex vent on the side (luckily only on the left side).
But it turned out alright in the end.
It is tricky with these trains, they went through many rebuilds and items on them altered many times. But I've decided it will be CP 3051 and a GP38-2.
I've got images of how it looked in 2022, so that is the timeline for this Beasty.

A quick tape up to see how it looks. I'm waiting on TMR to get some fiddly bits in stock.

Interesting. Is this going to be a full scratch-build?

Yep, apart from the brass undercarriage (bogeys). I was left a part built GP40 when my dad passed away, trouble is he got the dimensions wrong and it was 4cm too short, and not the right height.
I have to consider that if it's wrong, it is not correct, and the task will be harder to amend the build to match its size.

So I'm starting again. I found some drawings online and scaled them using Photoshop. I intend to RC it too. Then I'll have to lay some track in the garden.
