My current kitbash build. K-LINE HIGH NOSE GP38 BUILD. Yea samy has been out of the hobby knife routine a bit but shes back ;) these are 2 k-line gp30 locomotives I bought on ebay. They were reasonably priced. The 1 on the left was a red lehigh valley locomotive in good condition. While from the same seller the one to the right was a factoey-unfinished unit painted many different colors and not functioning. It was missing a large amount of detail parts including fan covers and radiator grills. After trying to find the parts for a bit I have decided to part the unit on the right out. I have taken her front nose off and cut it to build the second unit into a high nose. I took the nose of the scrap unit and cut the nose in half to superglue stack it on the nose of the running unit. Filling in the slightly gapped areas to smoothen them out with bondo the process she is in now She will be made into an industrial shortline switcher unit. Details I have made by hamd for it include the air conditioner on the roof. And the extended vision pilot window for better operator view. More updated photos will be posted when she is done.
