It's weird, but EMD built.
I painted the second unit in all it's yellow glory this afternoon.
While I was at it I painted the vents and louver panels in the first unit. Just like the first, it took a several light coats over an hour to cover properly.
I do have a crazy idea of building one for myself but using an Athearn shell, outfitting it with a Juneco CNR SW1200rs conversion kit and converting it to HOn3 for my logging line. Just a thought.
One other thing that I did was to paint the center-front windows of the cab yellow. From the prototype pictures it looks like these were plated over since the dynamic brake box would have been in their way anyhow.
