Beautiful work, Rene!!! Yeah, we’re spoiled now…the old school modelers were better at kit bashes like that. The Genesis model is the best model (regardless of engine type) IMO that Athearn has done to date…
Charlie:
Yes, they come with Spark Arrestors…but you have to modify the plates by removing the oval exhausts…or use the Details West parts…I milled the plastic parts in my mill using a 1/16 four flute mill:

Once you assemble the parts…you can spot paint and weather them…if u are using the factory painted units…
