A good way to come up with a generic heavy electric is to use the GG1 running gear and build a new body by splicing together multiple ATSF caboose bodies. You need to put the air reservoirs on the roof to make it look right, but you end up with a locomotive that looks very much like the early Baldwin - Westinghouse electrics as run by the New Haven, the Boston & Maine, and the Milwaukee Road. <br /> <br />If you do the same but first cut the chassis short to remove the GG1 pilot trucks you end up with a locomotive that resembles the NYC R2, some of which became the South Shore's 700 class.
