You could buy brass. However, now that I've purged myself of the smart-alec answer, the LifeLike GP60 would be a good starting point. For the cab you could work with the cabs from Atlas SD60M's....use the nose from a 3-window version and the rest from a-two window version. That should get you pretty close.

If you can get a hold of one, check out the February 1997 issue on Model Railroader. It has a very detailed article about how to rebiuld a Kato N scale GP50 into a 60M. Hope that helps.
