Title: Alaska Railways GP40-2
Post by: Bas on July 02, 2013, 02:00:23 PM
Hello everybody

Here are some modifictions I've made on a Bachmann Alaska GP40-2.

I added extra headlights on the roof (with SMD light), a snowplow, separate grab irons, electronic bell, winterisation hatches and as biggest change the famous L-shaped window. Still some details need to be added, like airhoses and windows. Also I painted the railings yellow and I changed the numberboards. Although it isn't a 100% match to the real locomotive, is has all the specific features that the Alaska GP40-2 has.
