HI thanks for the info!.
I don't know how many sets of decals I will get, it was a free offer from
sombody who did switchers. I have an MTL GP-9, but they all come with the
brakes. There is a German guy who lives in Austrailia that does a lot of custom
work. It would be so much easier to get him to do it, but it would cost a bit
more. The more I think about all the work that would need to be done, the less
I want to do it.
There are supposed to be more switchers coming from differnt folks, including a
GE 44 ton. Perhaps I should wait.
I really really want a blackbird, but it looks like I will have to save my
money and have sombody else do it.
