Need help on finding detail parts for HO Diesels (IE hoods, rotary beacons,horns, ditch lights,etc)

Eventually I hope to start rebuilding/repainting my shortlines fleet ( http://www.freewebs.com/easternmaryland/index.htm ) with several upgrades and modifications to also give some a more N&W ish look ( http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/tr_nw1781.jpg ) infact our paint sceme is the same as in the photo, just replacing NW with EM. One of the main parts i need are all weather windows like on the SD45 in the above photo. I also need rotary becons for the roads 2 gp7s witch will be used as yard switchers, particualry ones that can be easily lighted (and amber colored). As well as ditch lights that can or are at least ligting ready. Finnaly does anyone know who makes a high hood cab kit (thinking about converting a low hooded sd40 to high hood, and ive thought about it on a SD60 for fun [:D] ). Finnaly can anyone tell me what type of horn most N&W Diesels?

Matt, have you tried loooking up Detail Associates and Details West or Detail Associates on the Walthers website? If you’re not familiar with it, go to Walthers website. Along the left side of the main window is their menu. Click on “Manufacturers”, and you can look them up alphabetically and display their products.

try www.internettrains.com and www.discounttrainsonline.com look for detail parts from details west and detail associates . there are also other companies like cal scale but i think they are for steam locomotives. details west are white metal parts where as detail associates parts are mainly plastic…chuck
