Is there a way to do these in Plastic?

There are still some Alcos in service on shortlines and I think some widenose units would make for an interesting look on my Freelance road.
Also what different Alco engines did MLW put wide noses on? I know there was the M420W but were there 6-axle units as well?

<font color="336633">The only other MLW units that had a wide nose as far as I know is the British Columbia RR's M630's and M630W's.

These wont be easy to model as these have the canadian hi aid trucks.

seems like the guy at http://home.ix.netcom.com/~elclip/ has some. You might want to contact him, he has some nice looking locos.
