ATSF B39-8 7401
This model is a brass Overland Models brand import, to which I added a few
details, painted, decaled, and weathered. To add DCC capability, I replaced the
stock drive, frame, and trucks with Atlas DASH8-40B components. I removed
the brass cab interior to make room for the Atlas front truck.
This model won third place, diesel consist category (paired with my friend Jim's
similar unit 7400, left), at the 1996 SFRH&MS convention in Fort Worth, TX.

Below: B39-8 7401 in service with sister unit 7402, two of the three B39-8's rostered by Santa Fe. These locos were essentially prototypes for
the GE DASH8-40B and have a mish-mash of "dash 7" and "dash 8" features. Originally, the horn was located on the left side of the cab roof.
