It definitely involved a couple of Athearn Blue Box locos, I think it was a GP38 and an SD of some kind, though they may have only used parts from the SD. I do remember they had to build the long hood pretty much from scratch, and the frame was a pretty involved piece of work - they basically shortened the fuel tank and grafted on different "ends" to get the truck mountings in the right place. They also needed to do some bashing in the trucks - think they either shortened the wheelbase on a set of SD trucks or added the third axle to the GP ones. Good luck with the conversion!
