A MILW detailing note.  The MILW did not have chains which permitted walking between locomotives, it was all railing (or I have seen it with nothing there).  SoOmething easy to do to capture the MILW flavor.

FWIW.

Love the rusty trucks and the electron microscope images of the etched wipers!

Nice job on the conversion Diezmon and on the weathering (Tom?). Is this N scale (I know that Tom likes to be mysterious about the scale of things)? What was the starting point for the conversation? I love the looks of the small fuel tank Milwaukee Road locos, and the SD-10s in particular. It really reinforces the poor quality of their track. The SD-10s are a bit too new for my current thoughts on era, but I still want to build one.

Best wishes, Dave

Giddyup!  I was wondering what you might do to that unit, Tom      

Damn dude, you even added detail to the windshields!   ;D

The unit is an older LL SD-7.  I chopped the tank, added the air tanks, and lowered the short hood.  BTW, for those of you who start with this unit, it's a b*tch to lower the short hood because the mech is in the way.  it can only be lowered to the point where you hit the drive train.. so it's actually a WEE bit high still.   The hardest part was how the MILW had their number boards stick up above the cab roof.. putty and sanding
