Album: GP38-2 repowering

IAIS GP38-2 719 back-to-back with an Atlas factory GP38, more clearly illustrating the deck height comparison.

This conversion was a snap, and accomplished everything I'd hoped it would. It took less than two hours, and that was with all the trial and error fitting, disassembly, adjustment, and refitting. Now that I know what to do, I think I could complete it in around 30 minutes or so.
