Questions about the GP35's

Andy I take it you're working on model railroads? Very nice... Too bad up here in BINGHAMTON we can't experience much of the real thing... uch... I feel for you, I definitly do...

Jondude, where are you? here or westchester? i tol dyou, we watch hicks get drunk, play with fireworks, and blow their arms off.

Im thinking Conrail Blue and Silver for the 35's. now i just need a locomotive, and ill be set!

I went through the walthers Catalog last night. And no one makes the right horns, so im just going with the Details West 3-chime horns. Im getting the Cannon 35 series Cab, and 48" Fans. Now is the bell frame mounted, or fuel tank mounted?

I got all the parts decided. Now for the waiting for the Athearn shell!

The Athern shell is not even close, only protopower and kato shells are correct for GP35

The new one that was just released?

Are the horns Leslie S3L's? And are the fans standard 48" with the pan top, or are they similar to those on GP38's?

Andy I gave you picture a few weeks back study them
The fans are modified and sit deeper in the frame. also no center fan.

Yea, just after posting, i found them again! When we re made our computer, they got shuffled to the deepest bowels of the computer!

Dutch,

The reason for the movement of the horns was not the wire, but in GCT. When they were first brought in they were being tested on different routes and the horns were a "sore point"

They just moved them on NYSW/PW B40-8 4002, right behind the cab.

Yesterday i saw 104 in Stamford, and 106 in Harmon shops pushing around some Bomb coaches.

Doing some reseearch, this Is the Railpower shell, on an updated chassis. Athearn scrapped the old shell.

I saw 105 this weekend. Yes it does.
