I am looking for internal drawings of the motive compartment of a GP-9. Any help would be appreciated.

I do have a book on the "Union Pacific 1977-1980" by George Cockle.It does show some internal drawings,though not very good.There is a photo though of the internal part of the unit,in clear format.I'd be glad to send you a few copies,then if you want more,I'll see what I can come up with.Model Railroader did an article on the GP 9 in the December 2002 issue.Hope this helps.

Kalmbach Just published "GM Geeps" THE General Purpose Diesels.
Under Classic Trains. I'm not sure if it will give you the info,you are looking for.
But hope this helps.[:)]

I have a full detail print of a GP-9 hanging on my wall. I got it a few years ago from Simmons-Boardman Books (publishers of Railway Age Magazine). I'm sure you could get one too. Check their website at www.transalert.com. According to the site it sells for $9.50.
