09.11.09 Completed 99% UP SD70M flared radiator & my 24+ engine roster

Well here it is!! The custom kitbashed UP SD70M flared radiator with the phase II cab is completed, well 99%!! As I showed you guys how to put in decals it was almost done and as you can tell the number board decals are on and I did NOT have to clear coat or Dullcoat over it to get it to stay. I have changed the DCC number to #5139 and test ran it and it runs nicely BUT the lights are real dim so I have to remove the resisters and add new ones. Also install new ditchlights, SHIT!! Also I did a QUICK run on the layout to show all 24 engines I have on it. I have about 30 in total but there are 5 or 6 in other places and waiting to have work done. Three Overland models and a couple of Genesis models and a Kato or Two is in other places
