Modifications and details
This is an undecorated General Electric 70-ton switcher ready-
to-run model from Bachmann #81101 that I heavily modified.
I’m modeling NS #701 in as it was in 1974. The model won first
place diesel category in the NMRA Mid-East Region Convention
in 2012 in Suffolk, Virginia.
I began by cutting some scrap plastic sheet to cover the front
grill. Putty was applied around the edges and sanded smooth.
