I had preordered one of the MTH Norfolk & Western GP35s. I have always liked the look of this engine, but wanted one in NS livery and could never track one down. When the engine finally arrived I handed it off to a good friend and fellow club member, Jim Dorsett, to make the conversion. Now, the modifications done may not be completely prototypical, but Jim transformed this engine into an almost identical version of the one I was photographed in a couple years ago. To say I was blown away when I got my engine back is a complete understatement! He even painted a little conductor figure to look like me!
