Modified MTL NP GP9-DB into a GP9-TT. Removed dynamic brake housing and fan, added torpedo tubes, steam bell, rotating beacon, firecracker antenna, winterization hatch, larger fuel tank, cab sunshades, mirrors, pilot mounted coupler, cut lever, mu hoses, and painted handrail ends yellow. Added fire extingusher, emd builders plate, F for front, and GP9 decals.

Hi Robert, it looks like you have already made the conversions before the loco was released I' havent started with the GP39 conversion yet, but: are parts for the GP-9 TT available?
Cool! Billy-Bad-A$$!!! That Geep looks kick a$$ with those mods. Talk about going from blah to Wow!!! Detail adds realiZm!!! Great job Robert!!!! Hobo Tim
Yes all that work is a big improvement! Should take to till the end of the year to get all your others done up.
Well, that didn't take long! Now for a real challenge-didn't the NP have a chopnose version that ran on the Camas Prarie when it ended up in a ditch? Maybe you could do that version with one of those 40 some Geep's you bought!:teeth:
Wow! I missed this one yesterday. At first I thought the bell was a little large...then I saw the prototype pictures and you nailed it down Robert! Fantastic!
