I think Overland brass is making one. And the price is a real blow to the wallet-
probably around 700-900 dollars[xx(]

You could kitbash a couple for a lot less than that! This link is to a site that shows how to bash a GEVO from an Athearn AC4400.
http://qstation.org/BNSF_GEVO_Model/index.html
Between this site and the fairly recent (in the last year or so) drawings in MR, it should be a fairly easy build. I am thinking of using the AC4400 I have for a GEVO, but I need to finish my NS C40-9W first!

Good Luck, Morpar
