It would be the same body for the NYC GP20s (bought in bulk) and just a hatch difference (turbo) and the nose angle would be key, as I don't believe that I've seen any scale GP18s/20s from any of the manufacturers. MTH has a Railking and Lionel has a scale-sized version, but both have limited detailing, and Lionel's is lacking sound/command control.
