Chessie 4167 detailing

Ive spent a pleasant evening exploring the contents of the bag of detailing bits that came with my Ebay Athern loco. It would seem having to add the extras (like handrails) is not unusual, this has turned out to be a good buy as looking at the wheels it has never been out of the box

 

 

 

 

Anyway here is how it looked before

After adding details like, handrails, horn, headlight lenses, number board lenses, bogie details, couplers and hoses.

It makes a big difference to the appearance, the parts were well made (stanchions and rails individual steel pieces)

 

 

Just out of interest I googled "Chessie 4167" and came up with this

 

 

 

 

A bit dirtier than mine !

Is this a GP40-2? I think so from the extended dynamic brake vent, Dash2 electrical cabinet behind the fireman's side cab, and the water level sight gauge on the long hood (above the 'h' of Chessie) behind the driver's side. In which case its use of Blomberg B trucks, with 4 brake cylinders per truck, suggests these were from traded-in diesels of yore. Blomberg M - two brake cylinders plus external damper - would be more typical for this era (post 1972) of GM production. No matter - your model matches the prototype exactly!
