Lights
Decals (Western Sierra name and logo (on nose and JE would like on either side) numbers
Black paint on intakes and fans needs to be toned down. Hand rails need purchased and applied, new Athearn Blomberg M truck side frames, painted maroon and applied.
Detailing as desired (JE would like it to have a snowplow)

Engine has been sitting unfinished for a number of years. Would fill out the club roster.
