ON30 Prototypes?
I'm curious what the prototypes are for some of Bachmann's On30 equipment (assuming there were actual prototypes).
Specifically, I'm interested in the the center cupola caboose, the tank car, and the 18' cars.
Do any of them have prototypes?
If so, what are they?
CP MP15AC to GMTX Prototype study to model.
This is going to be a long endeavor. I plan on taking an Athearn Genesis model from CP to GMTX as currently used by Vermont Railway. I also want to change the decoder motherboard to a 21-pin model, add appropriate lights, upgrade the speakers and add appropriate details.
My first post will be pictures I've taken of the prototype. The pictures might help you to see the detail of one MP15AC for one that you might be considering..
