The Boston & Maine Rail King GP7 I showed above runs short-hood-forward, as did the prototype.
@MrMuffin'sTrains - Steve, please ask Mike to make some new 4-axle Rail King diesels! A U30B, maybe, or he can knock off the Atlas U23B, which is kind of hard to find. Or a C424/C425, though I know those were pretty rare. Or at least make a GP35 or GP38 as an RK engine. I promise you at least a couple of orders.
