This locomotive was yet another ebay cheapie, and it needs some TLC to bring it back to life. There are no number boards or lenses with it, and the front pilot has bent steps that will need attention.
This brings my total to three GP7/9's all of them needing repainted and DCC fitted. Of course none of them are DCC ready, so there will be some fun and games to be had with the soldering iron.
I will probably paint and decal them all at the same time in a production line fashion, especially as they will all be similarly painted.
I also picked up a low-nose GP30 dummy which will be used as part of a multiple unit consist for the layout, although it is a P2K unit and I believe they can be a little tricky to strip.
I really need a high nose GP30, so I am on the lookout for one of those to partner with this one. Hopefully one will pop up on ebay soon.
