I've finally have my GATX SD38-2 ready for the paint shop.
She started out as a Athearn SD40-2 and a few cannon parts later.

First the prototype:

Fabulous work there, Dan!-:thumb::thumb::thumb:

BTW : who's the original owner, not up on the paint scheme?

 

[Summit]

Erie Mining, if I'm not mistaken...or at least one of those private mining roads in the north woods...

Close, They were built for Reserve Mining in 1978. In 1987 they were purchased by GATX and were sent on long term lease to BN.

I knew it was one of those _______ Mining companies, but Erie was the only one I could think of....thanks for correcting that.
