I know NS has the admiral cabs for High Hood chops (sad) and the Crescent Cabs for SD60E’s and the odd Dash 8. Is there any company that makes replacement (HO) cabs for modeling? I bought some styrene to try my hand (I plan to use a Sd60M rather than SD60 so I can steal that battery boxes from the old cab, I can’t make that!) at scratch building but if a company like Kaslo made some I would take that over my attempts. Speaking of Kaslo, are they still in business?
Sorry for the two questions…
Thanks
Are you able to share a pic or link to one of those cabs?
I am making an MK5000 from an SD70 Cab from Kato, it will be one of a ‘Sorta do’ kind of units.
Please share if you can…
Hello NSDASH09, have you tried Cannon and Co. for cabs? They’re the only ones I can think of. All kinds of detail parts for diesel units. They advertise in Model Railroader. Bill

NS 8305 was the one getting the Crescent cab I believe…
