    I'm wanting to make two of these.
    Where would one start kitbashing from? :confused:
    I don't need an EXACT match (don't count rivets
    that small ;) ), just close enough.
    So... any thoughts on things to acquire to
    stitch together?

    What does a GP20D look like?

    OOPS!
    Sorry forgot the link to an image.
    I think they're funky. Which in turn looks cool to
    me.

    Is this one of the hybrid battery/natural gas powered units?

    :D

    Boxcab: No. Although it shares a body with the experimental natural gas switchers from a few years ago, this is an entirely diesel-electric unit.

    Ken: My best guess would be to start how Boise did, with the frame and trucks from a Geep. I can't remember if these units were made from first- or second-generation models, though. ???

    Brian- That's what I got at another place.
    They brought up using Life-like's GP20, then
    kitbash from there. Seems right.

    Now to get one!
