Also added another C424.Unit started as undecorated then painted with SCII RDG g/y.My goal was to move the longhood railings to the top of the walkway and cut in the slots on the side sill as I did on my 5205/07 units but the end result looked terrible so I just left mounted as they come with the model.Detail parts were added to the body and trucks and the fuel tank was modified.Weathering added along with TCS wow and TDS mini.

Finished my rendition of a WM GP9 low nose in the circus paint scheme.Unit painted with SCII paints,detail parts added along with weathering. WOW sound and TDS mini speaker installed.I intended to add the 3d printed low nose and cab for the WM but after painting it just looked off so I used the Walthers cab and low nose...not prototypical but I like the result.
Head on view  Engineers side   Conductors side   Ready for their next assignments  |

WHAT IF?? In one of Reading's new locomotive purchasing proposals they considered U 28 B locomotives since I had both P2K U 30 B locos in the demonstrator scheme I decided to strip them and give them a RDG Company flair.
First up RDG U30B 6200. Painted with SCII RDG g/y,MS decals,detail parts and weathering added,WOW sound with TDS mini. Conductor side views    Engineers side   6201 was repainted in my RDG shops and emerged in the Bee Line Service dream scheme   Rear view  Conductors side   Roof numbers applied  Both units ready for service  |

The Reading is devastated by Hurricane Agnes; washouts and damage across the system require significant effort to repair, and also hasten the abandonment of marginal branches.
