The Walthers GP9m shells fit on the old Athearn frames I have and can be had for $9 each on Ebay. They look good if you can stand the hoods being wider than scale. I have four of them and have a fifth on the way.

Shells for P2K and Athearn GP7

I have some nice P2K GP7 and updated BB Athearn chassis.

Looking for some good GP 7/9 shells that will fit with no or minor reworking. Atlas? Front Range? Proto shells are getting pricey!
