The C&O and B&O road slugs you model here are the same concept, but not the same sort of build as the TR3 and TR4. These C&O and B&O slugs (and even the two WM ones) were homemade by cutting down a GP7 or 9 into a slug. The TR3s and TR4s were a switcher with a cab (Cow unit) and one or two cablless additional units (calfs). They were built new that way from EMD and were not homemade. Also, the TR3s and 4s were built off much smaller switcher frames but weren’t generally referred to as slugs, they were called cows and calfs. The C&O slugs did spend most of their lives hooked up to GP39s. The two B&O ones generally worked with their homemade SD20-2s. The two WM ones worked with their BL2s.

Hot glue works great for holding wiring. Again another project on my list. Gotta make a NS slug. Great job Eddie.
