The Fuzzy World 3um

I am currently wanting to bash an SDL-39 in either Milwaukee Road paint. I plan on getting an older atheran non dyno locomotive, either a GP35 non dyno or shortening a GP38 for the frame/shell. Which would be more accurate? I also intend on getting an NSW 421 Class Australian Clyde/EMD locomotive for the trucks because they are the standard export design trucks which were used on the SDL39. Does Austrains or Train-O-Rama still make these? Would really like to make this as accurate as possible.

And here's a pretty detailed build-up of one of the Kaslo shop SDL-39 kits. However, the post will probably just make you frustrated because I don't think the kits exist any more

And you might get a chuckle out of this loco I found while searching

RMC had plans years ago, IIRC the July 1973 issue.

Someone made brass truck frames in HO. I saw some at a swap a couple years ago, and they looked ncie.
