Would anyone be interested in/is it possible to do PRR No. 7048? It's the GP9 on static display at the Horseshoe Curve. I've currently ordered the 3rd rail undecorated GP9 with the intention to paint this.
I do not have any Good photos taken by me (Below: Screenshot from old video I shot). But you can see it at this link: https://www.railpictures.net/photo/778755/

Ummm...you are going to need more than paint for that GP9.

1]There is a paper air filter box that you would have to scratchbuild and add in front of the dynamic brake

2] if you are ordering the Undecorated GP9, VERIFY, this unit will be a phase1 or phase2. The Sunset GP9's in the FIRST run were phase 3 which has 3 48" fans instead of the 2 pairs of 36" fans and the 48" dynamic break fan.

3] finally you will have to modify the brass fuel tank skirt. The HSC GP9 does NOT have a full skirt either.
