From initial sawings-up to first assembly:
A "DeWitt Geep", being an RS-3 remanufactured with a likewise remanufactured EMD 567 and generator from a retired E-unit, a program undertaken in the DeWitt Shop for Penn Central, continued under Conrail until the project moved the Juniata Shops.
A 3d print of the cowl, fans from a defunct Atlas GP9, and lots of slicing and dicing of two Weaver RS-3 shells, the drive my rebuild of the Weaver chain-drive, Microscale decals stolen from various sheets, Trucolor paint.
Still to do are the white safety highlights of handrails, a final weathering/blending assembled, and couplers.
