Was looking at Great Northern GP9s and found a paint scheme I liked. I created an okay looking drawing of how it may look. Actual model will look a lot better than this!

So the modifications that need to be done are:

Change from four steps to five steps, as GN used five steps on their GP9s.
Extra grab irons
Roof-mounted bell - I do not know where I can find this, maybe could have someone 3d print one?
'Nail' antenna - Maybe I can fine one in brass from Des Plaines or P&D? Maybe 3d print as well?
Leslie 3-Chime air horn - Is it an S3L or an S3KR? Cannot seem to find information on this.
All-weather window(s) - Could use 3d printed one(s), if they are the same as the ones on GN GP9s.
Kadee couplers or maybe Sergent couplers - Is there one with magnetic gladhands?
