Sharing a shell...

My latest ebay purchases, a pair of cheap Athearn genesis shells.  I picked up a very nicely detailed SD60M in Union Pacific livery and an EMD Demo SD70M.

I plan to try and power the SD60M using my railpower chassis, and hopefully I will have a kind of hybrid genesis that way.

The SD70M shell wasn't really bought with any particular need other than perhaps to be used for parts.   However, I may use it as a replacement shell for the Santa Fe SD75i which I had planned to turn into a spartan cab SD70.  Possibly I could have both shells and swap them out occasionally, sharing the chassis, just to give variety.

My third purchase is a railpower dash 8-40CW, but unfortunately it was not exactly as advertised.  It has a standard cab instead of the wide cab, and also it has none of the detail parts like air tanks and so on.  Luckily it was very cheap indeed, so almost worth it for the trucks and chassis.
