I have been spending quite a bit of time in Chicago recently, I'm back there agai now so I haven't had too much time to work on models.

I did acquire this on Ebay a few weeks ago a 2600 gallon EMD fuel tank

The MTH EJ&E GP38s come with a much larger fuel tank than they should have.

The real thing has the 2600 gallon tank

So the plan it fit this new tank to the model and fit a new speaker into the tank.

I'm also trying to draw a tank in Fusion, this is how far I've got. Jim very kindly provided me with drawings for the tank, so the brass one isn't 100% accurate by any means. It was challenge drawing the end profile in Fusion trying to get everything properly dimensioned.

Finishing this should keep me busy while I'm here.
