At the same time as the N scale RSD-15 project, I'm working on this future Zebra Stripe Santa Fe RSD-7 #601 project.
This is another Model Power high-nose RSD-15 shell. This shell fits on the same mechanism as the RSD-15 chassis that we've
described building here.

Unlike the Conrail shells in the previous picture, this former Union Pacific-painted shell's original paint
did NOT come off with the 91% isopropyl alcohol, it only softened the paint... I had to use a stiff wire brush then
to scrub the paint off.

I trust that after painting and weathering, the scratches from the wire brush will become hidden
(we will see if that's the case sometime soon!)

The blue cab rooftop is a replacement for a missing cab top, it was donated from a low-nose RSD-15 shell
and modified to fit.
