HO scale Brass Overland Models Inc. NS C40-9W Rebuilt to reflect NS AC44C6CF #8520.
This model is heavily modified w/conductor side toilet clean out pipe detail, front cab door cut open with custom door frame complete with crew member standing inside waiting to exit cab. Custom built roof GE PTC Antenna Array twin pak. Custom modified metal Kadee F couplers, custom made rubber/cast M.U. cables with custom made brass/rubber air hoses for both pilot ends. Custom modified emergency brake chain w/brackets. Custom modified trucks with custom made shock absorbers/dampers with brackets. Front snowplow modified to allow removal for painting/detailing of the end pilot. Full cab has custom detailing with 3-person crew, 3 color operating lighted gauges, with dash conductor papers, custom made speed recorder, inward/outward facing camera. This model has custom mixed primer/red paints, walkways have custom painted trim lines with Circus City custom limited flame decals with red/black striping, custom cut sheet top nose black no skid decals w/circles cut around grabs and squares around sand caps. Loksound V5 Integrated Atlas board nano sound decoder, custom baffled 1” Oval speaker, see through grills, with custom mounted resistor boards, custom made lighted dynamic glow box. Custom ditch, steps, front truck ground, walkway, cab, dash gauges, nose interior exit door, exhaust flicker, number boards & dynamic lights (for a total of 17 separate circuits). About 40 miles of motor winding wires with custom shaped lead weights throughout the shell for better traction, custom all wheel pickups. Model weighs 1.06 lbs. While this model was trying at times to build, it is very satisfying to see it completed. Note: unfortunately, at this time no American sold sound decoders with more than 10 lighting circuits exist and no separate function lighting decoders can work together with main board to handle this 17-circuit model. I’m glad this engine didn’t have 4 bulb beacons...
