Athearn GP50 - Basket Case
Another basket case engine, this one from the NMRA Spring Meet 2011.
This engine is a bit of a mess, it's got a strange mixture of detail parts and home-built details, with unevenly cut plasticard pieces and what appear to be stips of solder for MU cables.
The motor mounts have disintegrated, so a major part of the job will be rebuilding the drive and adding DCC.
It's labeled as a GP60, but the detailing is damaged so I will most likely be stripping it back to a bare shell and repainting it to become a Norfolk Southern GP50.
