MILW motor car #5900 / 5901

Started with building MILW's shop-built motor car #5900 / 5901
Shell was done by cutting & fitting an Aristo FA/FB-combo. The nose was shortened and raised and modified in shape with resin. The cab's roof was leveled and adapted to the rest of the slightly reshaped roof.

Current status of the shell
