I did a clinic in the AS16. I'm converting that clinic to word. Hopefully I can post it. I have good detail photos of the SMS AS616 including roof shots. I'll post those also.

An addition to my GP7 fleet...629
Unit started as an undecorated Athearn phase III with modifications to the upper cab sides concerning sunshades...I cut off that detail.The 629 was painted using SCII RDG paint my 626 was the first to receive the new SCII RDG yellow. All detail parts used were included with the model except for the horn,drip strips,L shaped grab and spark arrestors.
MS decals and weathering applied
Side 1

The pictures I used for reference showed only one mu stand above each pilot...short hood

Pictures of 626/29








There are quite a few differences on how the units were repainted...see if you can spot them all.

So, I recently completed my Ho-scale model of the Reading's Swinging Bridge. I showed it at the RMM. I had fun making it.
