I have finally finished my GP-9 project for my fictitious Allegheny Western Railway, and I have attached a few photos of the fleet.
GP-9 6625 is a passenger service engine, based on B&O practice. I spliced together two American Models fuel tanks and added NBW castings, to create the larger fuel and water tanks found on this prototype. The larger tanks require that the air reservoirs be placed on the roof. BTS parts were added for the steam generator parts, the air reservoirs, a five-chime horn, and lift rings. The ends include MU receptacles, drop steps, MU hoses and an air hose.
The paint scheme for my fictitious P&LE-like railroad includes Extended Century Gothic lettering, giving a NYC flavor (like the real P&LE). But, in my world, the Allegheny Western is a B&O subsidiary, and so the paint scheme includes B&O Royal Blue and Dulux Gold lettering and striping.
I installed a Tsunami sound decoder, RailMaster speaker, and 1.5-volt bulbs for headlights.
GP-9 5821 is a freight service GP-9, with most of the same parts added.
The Allegheny Western Railway GP-9 fleet is now in full service.
