That is a challenge.  I looked and noticed the designers does not say.  he added the raised section of catwalk, but no piece with the pilots,porches and rest of the catwalks.  they usually say what chasis they designed it for. but this one says nothing.  my. first thought was atlas or p2k  gp38-2's but with much modification to the catwalk piece.  only ones with seperate pieces.  Atlas does make those as replacement pieces so at least you could buy that an experiment before commiting to a whole chassis.    Have to email the designer and see what they had in mind.
