RI AB6
After quite a while here are some pics of RI's AB6. It is the rebuilt version with two prime movers, the second diesel installed instead of the baggage compartment

Early E-units
Using Aristo's E8-units as a starting point I'm working on two early E-units:
1. Santa Fe's E-1 with the sleek and smooth nose and countersunk headlight
2. Rock Island's AB6 after rebuilding (two power units instead of one and the baggage-compartment)
I'll post some pictures when the shells show a more advanced status

PRR BP-20 A/B in 1/29
Progress on my BP-20 set so far:
The shells are from a 3D-printed kit (Kirkville Locomotive works). I did some modifications to resemble more to the protoype.

First look to the progress on RI's big Davenport - I'll build the early appearance of the units with vertical openings on the hoods' sides and closed ends (black painted shell)
