I want to model some GTW GP-38's. I know that Athearn has GP-38-2's, but I want the pre-1972 version. Does any manufacturer offer these in HO scale plastic? If not, what would it take to turn an Athearn GP-38-2 into just a GP-38? I know about the different trucks, and the sight glass on the side of the hood. I believe that replacement cabs are available too. (cannon?) <br />Would any other modifications be needed? I want a pretty close model. Not down to the last nut&bolt, but real close. Also, any ideas on where I might get a set of GTW Bi-Centennial decals? <br /> Any advice would be appreciated. <br /> Thanks, Todd C.
