Nearly complete Conrail SD9 #6910. I did a bunch of research on the SD9's and while doing that, I ordered decals. I found 6910 today and to me it is a oddball unit as out of all the SD9's, this seemed to be the only one to have the word Conrail on the long hood as the rest had the CR logo or were painted blue. I have to take the hand rails off and paint them white where they are respectively painted. You will see I have already done this at the front and rear of the engine. 

   
   
   
   

Now the GP35 issue. I didn't noticed when I picked this engine up at the hobby shop that it had two headlights. One on top where they normally are in my opinion and there was a second one of the nose of the engine. Well in order to get it to be correct, something had to be done. So I cut a small piece of polystyrene to fit right over where the light would be. Granted it won't look perfect but this unit will never lead and will always be a trailing unit since it's a dummy engine. So it's one of those, if you don't know, you will not notice it.

   

That is all for tonight and I am very satisfied with the progress made tonight. Have a good one everyone.
