Well, there's [at least] 3 noses to consider.
The original nose with the glass over the headlight
The bolt on fiberglass nose with the notch for the headlight - this came about somewhere in Phase V (and would include both 40th and 50th Anniversary paint jobs).
The nose with the trap door - NJT
Also, the MNR ones are P32AC-DMs.... they have extra vent panels and 3rd rail pickup shoes.
Cool. I was going to send you an email on the variations and still will. I have no idea, but I am guessing the bulk of interest will be in the Phase V or later paint schemes.
Once Scott gets a sense of where reservations fall, that will likely determine the extent of variations being done. I was aware that some of these were P32AC-DMs and were slightly different. Also, NJT's were actually PL42ACs produced by Alstom and they are a different tool having the fluted side panels. They did have four P40DCs that were ex Amtrak though which is what will likely be produced unless there is a flood of NJT orders which is probably not likely.
While I was no longer living on the Jersey Shore when the Genesis locomotives were going into service, one might be interesting to head up my NJT Comet cars to with my F40PH and ALP-44.
