D&RGW 3127 GP40-2.

See how I have converted the AZL GP38-2 into a D&RGW GP40-2:

• started with an undecorated AZL GP38-2
  
• adjusted dynamic brake covers
  
• additional nose light (D&RGW)
  
• top rebuild (fans etc)according GP40-2
  
• opened door at the long hood side
  
• step under the new rear door
  
• small window in the long hood enineers side (in the 'R')
  
• rounded edge underneeth top headlights
  
• removed sharp edges of front windows
  
• hand made handbrake in short hood
  
• hand made cab roof antennas
  
• hand made air tanks
  
• hand made tank fill pipes
  
• body mounted MTL #903 couplers
  
• hand made closed pilots
  
• hand made snow plow
  
• hand made pilot connector
  
• hand made walking plate at pilots
  
• new bell and air tanks
  
• hand made railings
  
• BMLA sunshades,wipers, grab irons, fans and fan covers, mirrors, mu cables,lifting eyes, cut levers
  
• home made decals
  
• Kristelklear windows
  
• paint: Tamiya primer, PollyS D&RGW yellow, Humbroll black 85
  
  
• white LEDs covered with Tamiya X-26
  
• thinner light fibers installed
  
  Some of these steps can also improve the look of a GP38-2.
