Re: (erielack) Life-Like P2K GP7's...



Paul and list,

Low and behold, what's sitting outside the door when I got home but two
Lackawanna passenger GP-7's!

Here's my first impressions:

NICE!

Now the second impressions. Here's what need's to be done to make it a
true Lackawanna GP-7 (I'm sure others will add to and correct this):

Short hood horn needs to be replaced with a single chime horn facing
forward with respect to the short hood. Did these units ever have a
second horn during their DL&W days?

Side hand rail stanchions need to painted black up to the hand rail
clamps.

Diagonal hand grab needs to be added to the short hood front.

Battery box steps need yellow edging.

A few spots of red for the various filler openings.

The truck journal boxes aren't quite correct. One on each side of each
truck should be square type. Check pictures of the prototype as this may
vary.

Otherwise GO GET 'EM!

Regards,

Will Shultz
