I had a halve dozen of the Sunset GP's when they first were brought in
from Japan. The first thing I did was toss out a couple of the drives and
started making my own using NWSL parts. That was back in the last century
before Overland came out with the F units. Once River Raisin sold the
red-drives I yanked the Overland drives out of my F units and used them to
replace the rest of the Sunset GP drives. I opted to make a separate frame for
the drive, and solder the hood and cab to the floor with the railing so it was
all one piece. I've since sold all of my die-sals's. The last pair were the
ones with the unfinished NWSL units. McCoy relieved me from the suffering.
Railroads run with steam engines, trucks run with dirty diesels.
