The only difference in the c40-9w is that it has a 4000 HP prime mover vs. the 4400 HP engine in the c44-9w. Hence the numbers "40" or "44" in their models. Externally, they are identical. NS is the only railroad that buys the c40. There are several variables that need to be considered when modeling GE locomotives. Some of them are number board location, number of steps on the walkway, and whether the handrails at the ends of the loco. are "wide" or "narrow". These details vary from railroad to railroad. If you find a c44-9w body that matches these things with your NS photos, then it is just a matter of adding small detail parts, and the model will look just the same as a c40-9w. Hopefully someone else can give you more "NS specific" ideas about details. Hope that helps! Kevin
