BNSF SD60M Update - The shell is replaced.



Here's a quick update on the damaged Athearn Genesis SD60M I recieved last week.  The BNSF shell is a write-off so it has gone into the parts box, luckily I had a spare Union Pacific SD60M shell which I bought cheaply on ebay a few months ago, so I have been able to use it to get the damaged engine back into use.

I don't model Union Pacific, but it makes for a pretty good looking locomotive, even if the silver sideframes are not correct :)

At some point I will either strip the shell and repaint for Norfolk Southern or paint the sideframes grey and sell the engine on.
