Reply to "GP/9 Shell size"

I'm in the process of making GP11 drawings, and along the way I've had to confirm the dimensions you're looking for.  The GP9 cab is 10' wide, 6' 6" long and 9' 5 1/2" above the walkway at the top of the roof, while both hoods are 8' 10" above the walkway. The pilot-to-pilot distance is 52'.  These are per railroad drawings.  

 

From measurements I've taken (from photos, drawings and an actual GP9RM) the hood ends are about 26 1/4" from the pilot face (I've measured between 26" and 26 1/2" depending on the source) and the short hood is 8' 4" long.  I haven't measured the long hood, but subtracting the short hood and cab length gives a long hood length of about 32' 9 1/2", and a total nose-to-nose length of 47' 7 1/2" (give or take 1/2").

 

Edit: I guess you were looking for model dimensions, not the prototype - which I don't have... In any case, at least you'll know whether a given shell is accurate!
