from bob t. hi charlie,interesting project you are thinking of.i have been giving some thought to doing a set in H O but i am still in the dreaming about it stage. you need the book ; "the one spot twins". get in to the santa fe railway historical & modling society web site and click on company store,then books.it has chapters on development&testing of the engines,there is a dimensional drawing,and on page 2 there is a colourized print of the two units. also, click on railimages.com JOHN TYSON( i hope thats right ) john did a HO cri&p ab-6 from a p2k e-7 .there only 2 picts. of it under construction and i know its diferent looking in most details ,but picture it with a cab on both ends.both the at&sf box cabs and the ab-6 are the same thing,a rectangular box on wheels.i thought if or when i start my own box cab project i would start with a long b unit of some sort ( alco dl-b,emd e-6 or e-7 ect.), remove detail, fill windows,ect. this would be a lot of work,but it would give me a square and strong shell to work off of.i hope this gives gives you some help and inspration to start on your one spot twins. good luck bob tyson. i could use some advice on this project myself. thanks in advance. bob
