Modeling IAIS 625-628
Overall view of IAIS GP38AC 626. This model started out as a factory-decorated CSX unit I received in trade and stripped, which explains the molded blue cab, battery boxes, and walkway.

Overall view of IAIS GP38AC 628. It and 626 appear to be twins at first glance, but both feature minor variations in detailing such as horn and air hose type and sunshade placement.

Close-up of 628's roof showing the added engine room access doors. IAIS 627 is the only IAIS GP38AC that doesn't have these doors.

Fireman's side view showing recently-applied weathering. This was done as my first experiment in using John Pitts' wash method, but I've got light years to go before I achieve the quality of John's work.

Rear conductor's side view. I thought the black and yellow grabs on the prototype added some interest - wish IAIS would paint them that way on all units.
