Re: (erielack) Will we ever see a HO Scale SDP45 in plastic???

Back in the early years of DCC, our club bought a system called PMP-112 (a 
CTC-16 knock-off) that was a real dog. The decoders were junk, but there was 
a guy in Denver, Mark Paris (dba TinyTronics) who built decoders that would 
at least make the locos move. His decoders had a tiny pot that adjusted the 
throttle zero-point, and in Athearn locos was accessible by simply popping 
off the DB housing! Saved a lot of trouble not having to remove the shell, 
which is always a PITA.

I had thought about this. It used to be the dynamic brake housing on Athearn 
models were a snap in affair. I'm alittle out of touch so I don't know if 
they still are. But my thought there is it would be as simple as taking an 
athearn GP40-2 dynamic brake blister and popping it on a athearn GP38-2 
shell and boom you've got a GP39-2.
