Hi Ron Thanks for the update - sounds an exciting project which I hope is a great success.
After seeing the photos of the shell I was already thinking GP38-2 and GP38-3's, perhaps some parts will be available to the razor saw weilding brigade? Then again SD45 = wisconsin central?? = possibly some WC - and then there's the SSA ph 1 GP7 which could build into a an ex AC WC GP7 with said WC decals (see above) and the SSA WC evans box cars too - S scale suddenly got a more interesting anyone want to buy an O scale U18B!!!
