I hated to break into my stash on Atlas SW9’s but I needed another SW1. A few more details and paint is next.

Very nice! Can you elaborate on the details? Where do you get those grills? I’m looking forward to seeing the progress.

The grills are 3D printed parts intended for the All Nation NW switcher. The Louvers and fans are included but will not be installed until after painting. They are available from the “new” All Nation Co.

Thanks

HR, thank you! I am 2 railing another 44 ton now. I used MTH caboose wheel wipers mounted to the motor block.

I had it finished the loco and track tested it but the wheels I used did not do well. They were the “sintered iron” type used n Athearn HO trucks. I removed them and ordered some Atlas 36” wheels.

I though that the 44T had 33in wheels, and the 70T had 36in wheels? I like your wiper pick up.
