Detailing a Walthers Mainline GP9 Illinois Central locomotive

In March 2020 Walthers released both high hood and chop nose GP9 locomotives in their Mainline specifications. I purchased 4 Illinois Central locomotives with DCC/sound (2 road numbers of both high hood and chop nose). This video shows the process of super detailing the locomotive. In addition to the external detailing of the locomotive, the factory installed ESU Essential Sound Unit decoder was replaced with a LokSound 5 DCC decoder. Here is the parts list of what was used to super detail the locomotive: QTY Part number Manufacturer/Description 1 910-258 Walthers Mainline/Diesel Detail Kit for GP9 1 ATH01097 Athearn/Nose mount bell (for high hood units) 1 BE-176 Details West/Side hood mount bell (for chop nose units) 1 pkg MU-265 Details West/MU hose, 4 cluster set 1 pkg AH-267 Details West/Locomotive air hose with bracket 1 RA-276 Details West/Can type radio antenna (2 per package) 1 MU 1501 Details West/ MU Stand (early EMD GP) 1 DS 1404 Details West/Drop step 1 190-522 Cal Scale/Coupler lift bar 2 N/A KV Models/Cab sunshades (available on eBay) 4 N/A KV Models/EMD Windshield wipers (single blades for high hood units.
