OK YOU CHOO CHOO BOIS

Trainworld had Fox Valley GP60s on sale a couple of weeks ago so I dusted off the wallet and snatched up a pair for $100 each-with ESU Loksound! The 9669 was specifically chosen because it led the first rock train I worked as an Engineer. I figured they'll look better as a pair so I also purchased the 9635...













 


Both will most likely receive updating to an early-2000s appearance, so I'll have to relocate the horns, remove the beacons and install LED ditch lights. The 9669 also had goofy gray patches all over her for whatever reason, so I'll probably add that too. I will not be adding the stupid yellow stripes that UP did, however. 

Anyways, enjoy the photos.

    Would the grey patches have been to cover up graffiti? An excellent decision to add them, they sure would make for distinctive weathering on your model.
