So, if it were mine, I'd stick to CQ30-7  instead of Cw30-7.

The cab was available for any Dash 7 and since this is a C30-7 with the cab it would be a CQ30-7 ,and that is exactly what I call it. :D

It's not a "What if" loco it is exactly what the loco would look like had it been ordered with the Q cab.

Hi Catt

If you wish a custom shell for another CQ30-7 let me know, extending the bottom is a simple job so you do not need to add the styrene.

Very nice.  I managed to get my horn and exhaust stack mounted last night and all the grab iron holes drilled for the rear using the BLMA template (held on with some double sided tape.  Then ,either fatigue set in or I have the wrong tweezers, because every time I tried to insert a preformed grab iron into the hole, it rotated up, or sideways, or left - anywhere but in the hole.   :facepalm:

Will try again tonight. :trollface:

Grey paint applied:



It's in the shadows, so it appears darker then it is.  I think it will be ok once the decals and fade coat dry.
