Hi Pieter, Thank you for remembering my model and thank you for the compliments. My Dash 8 model started as an American HiRail shell but there was a great deal of work in scratchbuilding a new cab and underframe details from styrene. Not to mention the hours involved in paint, decals and details. I was very happy with the results and was flattered when it received an award for "Best in Class" as well as the "John Sudimak Memorial Award" in Dearborn in 1996. I just uploaded an image for your review. It is in the "Amtrak Dash 8" folder.
