Another Aspect of my Operation SD70 project is adding details to the Athearn units I have from the earlier runs which were lack a bit in the detail department particularly around the under frame and the front and rear ends.
The first part that I do is to get the detail pack from Details West that are bespoke for the SD70M units with white metal parts for the under frame. This includes the piping for the sanders, bell, brackets for the fuel tank, jack mounting points, release values for the fuel tank, electrical cabling looms, spare knuckle coupler parts, etc.

 

Below are the photos of how these look when all in place.

Next is to put on a new plough and adding the air hoses and MU cable. Also adding the new standard Yellow sills to the walkways.
