This is an older model I made out of an Atlas F-9 model. It was not in the greatest of conditions, but was perfect for being converted into another engine for my 2-rail layout. I needed to have some passenger engines for my Chippewa Hiawatha train. I removed some of the incorrect details from the Atlas carbody and added parts that were found on the F-9's that were converted to Passenger service. I used P&D, Red Caboose, Keil-Line, and Precision Scale parts and then added details using brass wire and plastruct pieces. I equipped the headlight with a Mintronics Gyra-light unit to simulate the Mars light found on Milwaukee Road passenger diesels. I used Floquil UP Armour yellow and UP Harbor Mist Gray for the paint. The decals are Champion decals and Champion red stripes along with Microscale decals. This engine will run as lead unit with a Central Locomotive Works E-7 I also rebuilt. They will pull my Chippewa Hiawatha train in the future when the layout is completed. Hope you like it and have a Merry Christmas! Bill
