A while ago Benn Coifman posted a
NP GP9 and I thought
it would be cool to have another Northern Pacific loco running around the
COLTC layout. I also made it in the NP livery because I had lots of leftover
black bricks from my hopper cars (which I have yet to photograph). So, enough
talk, here’s the brickshelf folder:
Please let me know what you think,

Pretty slick! Very good detail all around and clever tricks abound. I like the
spark arresters on the stacks. The rear of the cab looks well detailed, do you
have a photo of the rear when it is all together too? The only suggestion I
have is that you might want to flatten out the top of the handrails on the
front sides.

PS, I’ll try to dig up a photo I have of an NP sw1200 for you.

Thanks, Benn. Here’s a picture of the rear. I choose not to have the handrails at an angle
since I felt that it couldn’t be properly done. If you can’t tell, the rear was
inspired in part by Tim Gould’s
VO-660.
I’ve been trying to flatten out the top of the front handrails but I’m not
having any luck. I tried the trick with the paper clip but the paper clip was to
narrow gauged (pun intended?) to stay in place and the metal it was made of was
too fragile (it broke when I tried to take it out). Does anyone have any
suggestions?
