CNW and DT&I Gong bell Nose plates. Adding those gong bells to the front of the CNW or DT&I diesels has always been one of those tasks that always gave me trouble. As the number of models needing these bells grew, a easier method was researched and found. These new plates just fold up with sides, bottom and a top cap and slide into an opening you make in the nose with the aid of a included template. There are three nose plates per package. Gong bells are not included but any of the commercially available bells will fit.

Some of the early EMD GP and SD units with rounded cab roofs had Antenna Ground Planes mounted over the number board housings. The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are two roads that come to mind when one thinks of who used them. We have two variations of these available made from stainless steel. One is a solid, rounded front and straight back edge. The other one has a rounded front and square cutout where a antenna and it's base would be mounted. Each package contains four of the same ground plane in it. A drilling template is also include to aid the mounting process.

Etched liftrings? Yep, four different sizes are available. These are not just some flat rings you are supposed to imagine as being round rings. While these rings are not the 'round' rings of the prototype, once installed and painted they will appear round. And no where not talking about the eyelet/hole being round. We are talking about the round rod that forms the ring. Our rings have halves that are folded together to give them thickness. But each half has two levels of etch. So, once folded together, you have three levels of etch. And once painted, the paint fills in the edges leaving a round liftring. Four different sizes are available to cover most sizes used on EMD diesels. Each package contains 48 lift rings.

Here are a few applications for the different sizes of rings on EMD units.

3 3/8 X 1 3/4 - DB hatches and side of long hood end

2 3/4 X 1 1/2 - Radiator hatch

2 3/8 X 1 3/8 - Inertial filter hatch and exhaust hatch

Model ship builders have also found these useful for different rigging eye bolts

And for those who like to add lift rings to their models, we have some very small lift lugs do add to your Paper AirFilter Boxes found on GP and SD 38s / 38-2s.

Just look at the upper corners of the paper air filter box next time you look at one the these engines.

Stainless Steel Fan mounting brackets to hold our 48 inch fans in place. These mountin brackets are designed to hold any one of our 48 inch fans #471, #472 or #473.

EMD F7 Grilles information

Not sure where else to put this but, We have been getting requests from modelers looking for our HO scale F7, F9 and FP7 grilles. Well, we have no plans to do any F unit grilles in HO. One grille does not fil all. Too many models being made to try cover them all or figure out which ones to cover. And there are several other grilles already out there. We feel it best we use that time to develop a few other projects that are not already available. Thank you for your understanding!
