Steve, it's hard for me to judge the size of the white box. Typically, large white boxes on the cab roof are air conditioners; smaller boxes are GPS antennas.
@DaveSCHS I think it is an antenna of some kind. Looking at pictures of when she was in this livery (she is now in CSX all over blue) she had no air conditioners on the cab nor could I see any traditional looking antennas, so I am assuming this is it
@csxrensville5105 thanks. It isn't as fiddly as it looks, but to be fair, I have been detailing locos for decades now. My first was a Lima class 73, I shaved off all the handrails, replaced them and repainted the loco, added flush glazing etc. I don't know what happened to it as this was around 30 years ago. I will do a video of the show so if you can't make it, you can at least see the layouts. If you do make it, come and say hello 👍
@thebritishrailroader It's fiddley when you have arthritic fingers that can barely bend and constant pain. Still I don't go on about it. 😃😃😃 I've looked on the map, it's about three and a half hours each way. So it is doable.
Another interesting update, Steve...cheers James 🙂👍
Thanks James

You make it look so easy. 😃
I'm toying with the idea of going to the convention.
It's the distance for me.

@csxrensville5105 that's what I like to see, stiff upper lip 😉. Seriously though, if you ever need help with anything, let me know.
