I decided to look through my trains a couple of days back, and found my Athearn BB AC4400 and realized its a dull looking locomotive. Now I dont mean dull as in paint job, I meant as in detail…
So I decided to give it a plow. Well I didnt have any DEetails West ones so I found some Bachmann Spectrums I had saved from parts for the Dash 8 CW I bought through Bachmann. I looked at a pictures of the two and realized there wasnt much difference so I added the plow cut the snaps off that they had and super glues it to the front.
Next I took some plastic plastic hoses I had of Bachmanns again cu the mounting taps and super glued those where they belong. Finally I noticed my exhaust stack was missing and coulding find it anywhere. SO of course I used Bachmanns Dash 8 spare exhaust stack. and the horn was gone so I filled away the mounting tab off a Bachmanns Dash 8 Horn and vola instant gradification.
I also added Couplr lift bars from extra Bachmann Dash 8 Parts and they look good.
Now all I am after is the correct Ditch lights because the ones I had bought for the Dash 8 wont fit where I need them on the AC4400
Heres two pictures. I did realizes the snow plow was a little to far down and the MU houses slipped while the glue set and I fixed those. Just didnt feel like getting the camera out of the bag today.
Comments good or bad are welcomed.
