Elizabeth Allen's Stunning EMD SD45X Project

A chronological photo essay of one of Elizabeth Allen's most stunning projects: a mostly-scratchbuilt HO Scale EMD SD45X. Gray parts, brass walkway tread and front steps are from Cannon & Co. All other parts are formed from Evergreen Styrene. Oh, and a gyralite and P3 airhorn assembly from Detail Associates, a rooftop bell from Details West, and stanchions from PIA & Smokey Valley.. That's IT!


Truly a stunning model! Model is of SP 9500, circa 1979-1980.
