Once he makes the mods to it like Via Rail has done, and paints it in Via Rail colours, it’s going to be truely a “Winner”.

Nice work, Chicken Fingers.......

Could you please point out these mods Father? I have observed hundreds of photos Canadian and US over a thousand times and aside from some crazy stuff I have no interest in I'm not sure what is different. Always open too input and perhaps what I'm missing!

Some of them might have had steam generators? Would that count as a boiler?

I am defiantly a child of the transition era. I truly love steam, but I also love first and second generation diesels. The FP is getting on toward third generation or so, but I can still enjoy the look on someone else’s railroad :smiley:

Got the glass in and not sure if I want glass at the center windows yet. The tinting is just inserts that pop in from behind and can be removed for clear front glass. Added mirrors and started on the cabin interior.
