Title: Bachmann GP7L in Alaska Railroad delivery
Post by: Bas on July 29, 2014, 02:05:53 PM
Hello everybody

Here is my latest project I'm working on...an Alaska Railroad GP7L.
I lowered the hood, milled down the frame and put on a new cabine, winterazation hatch and new alco trucks.

This used to be a Bachmann Baltimore and Ohio GP7, but now it is my startingpoint for my Alaska Geep.

This is how it will look likewhen I'm done

Very nicely done.
I do like the occasional program about Alaskan railroads. Though job.
Love the tunnel where motor vehicles and the railroad both use the tunnel.

I was wondering, did the truck tower get in the way. I wanted a low hood Bachmann GP7 but I did not think it would work because the truck tower was to high.
