G Scale Illinois Central GP40R

Walker yard recently sent an Illinois Central GP40R to the Sherwood Park division. It immediately went to work on the Work900 fixing sun kinks and rough spots after a week of hot weather.
This unit is a bit unique having DB and an "L" shaped engineer's window. It also has its headlight on the nose, and it sits a little low, so the IC logo is pretty small.
Over the last 10 days, I've moved in some big rocks to try to make the mountain area look a little more rugged.

Thanks Michael. Work900 is the only train that stays upstairs ready to run at a moments notice. :)

Very nice Illinois central... I want one of those some day 👍 I see them frequently in Sussex Wisconsin... awesome video...

Thanks Dave. If and when you do, I can share the cutter files to make the paint masks for the markings, unless you prefer decals. Shane

Shane, Really awesome looking locomotive there, well everything looks great! :-)

[@CanadianrailroadsCa]

Thanks Mike.

[@busmovers]

Nice! Great layout, keep the videos coming!

[@CanadianrailroadsCa]

Thanks Reginald. I've slowly been making progress. It seems that building new equipment for the fleet is still taking up most of my time. Next locomotive being worked on is an old CN GP38-2.

[@busmovers]

@@CanadianrailroadsCa That sounds awesome! You skills with kitbashing are incredible! Where do you get your material for such projects?

[@CanadianrailroadsCa]

@@busmovers Thanks Reginald. Are you talking physical supplies, or the designs I make for the builds?

[@unifrax5]
