A Maverick Modelers Digest

A unique, often on the bleeding edge, and way over the deep end of modeling

Starting point: LifeLike Proto2000 SP GP38-2. These locomotives out of the box didn't even come close to SP as delivered GP38-2s, instead, represented the ex L&N/HELM leasing units. I've been modifying this locomotive for a while now. It has had a lot of challenges since the dimensions are off by 6" scale in overall hood height. This meant using a Cannon Nose/Cab/Sub Base was out the window. There has been a lot of modifications made to the stock components to better match the HLCX 3815.
