Kitbashed SP 8305 Wide Body built circa 1983
Title:  Kitbashed SP 8305 Wide Body built circa 1983
Description:  This pulls like two of the new Athearn units; think I'm going to add a Tsunami and run it again. This model took a while to construct and involved three modelers and two manufacturers. This has a one off Protopower-West Drive, a shell made from four other shells, and a host of parts in several scales. Cast of Characters; Charlie Slater, Mark Ala, Gerald Dockens, Richard Curts and Joesph Delia of PPW, talk about the best birthday present ever! Those Dash 2 trucks were bashed from stock Athearn SD45 trucks; this was back when there was pretty much nothing available yet.
