James, Several years ago, I built what I called an "F39-2" which was a GP39-2 with an F45 body. I used an Athearn F45 and a GP38-2 and made it work. I painted it in the MoPac thunder chicken paint scheme. It was really a fun project. Now that you have me thinking about it, I think I'd like to try it again. I've also scratchbuilt two light industrial switchers and a few slugs, none of them from prototypes, but certainly inspired by different photos. I have a couple of B40-8 shells without the cabs and I'm tempted to build a modern day equivalent to the U50C. It would be a fun project, but it's going to take some thought before I figure out what the cab would look like. Anyway, fun topic. Anyone else? Ryan
