Finally getting back to some modeling. Been a long summer, wife broke her arm, been hot as hell. I ordered this for the Las Piedras, first loco purchase since 2021. N Scale Supply consignment section for $50.00. 2005 Life-Like GP-20. I love how these became road and yard switchers when the NW2s and 1500s were retired. What detail parts would I be looking at to customize it, such as the rooftop AC, etc.?
