Here are some pictures of my SD 45-T tunnel motor I bashed out of a Aristo SD 45.
The first two are a couple shots of the cab top detail. I mounted the bell on top as was SPs cutom. The AC unit & sinclair antenna are from Ozark Miniatures and the Sinclair mount is scratch built.

This is a shot of the rear grill work I made from cutting out the four side grill panels from the 45. I fabricated the heavy top grating out of 1/8 hardware cloth.

Here is a nose shot (sorry for the focus) showing the head lights moved to the nose as, was SPs custom & ditch lights ( both from Ozark). the plow is scratch built from vertical blind material.

The rest of these are shots to show the most inentifying feature of the tunnel motor - the "see through" air intakes. I used heavy mesh fiberglass fly screen for the panel covers.

(Ted, I went back and rechecked all of the images and as far as I can see currently they all meet the 640px max requirement and I've restored them to display as images, sorry for the inconvience SteveC mod.)
From Peter Bunce moderator, - most of the photos are too wide at 768 pixels, instead of 640 pixels; as a result they have been changed to links instead.
