I did start this project 2 years ago when I acquired a bushel of MTH SW1 shells. This is a model of the FC&G 600 late in its career and the maroon stripe is very faded. It was definitely showing its age but still running everyday. After the IC/GM&O merger which basically ended the FC&G this loco was sold to the Columbus and Greenville where it continued to work. My model is a MTH shell on a Atlas chassis. Glad I finally got it done. I have prototype photos of this loco but I will not post them here. In one of those photos this loco was teamed up with a IC caboose as the old FC&G cabs did not last long after the merger.
