Hi Guys, One more for the boys and girls....This is Mike Passmore's paint on Dekosofts model. Got to thinking.."it needs an Ocitrol flashing light setup" since all of the boughten 9600's were delivered to ICG with them in 1975 (albiet in Orange and White and Named no less!!)So I contacted Scott (Simmille1)whois working on the ICG non dyno Sd40-2 and said Would it work on this too??? WEll he GRACIOUSLY gave us a piece of history!! Chip from Dekosoft also modified a .s file for a lower headlight and side hood mount bell. The result is what we can accomplish when we all work together!!! The results speak for themselves!! (Guys, I would like some O&W blanks to make a few new ones if possible)All we need now is one more modification on the 38/40's for L shaped engineers windows!! (hint hint PLEASE)THANK YOU SO MUCH guys!! Of course, the lighting on her was done by me, with a little mod on an ace file for the deck strips. I hope the pics speak for themselves! Be proud of this one fellas!!Kelley D. Ellison
