Here's another thought, but it would only be possible if the GP7's motor could be relocated to the rear of the locomotive. The so-called Flyer "GP20."
The new frame and power truck won't allow for the chop-nose and motor to occupy the same space, so the motor would have to be in back.

Didn't we work out some time ago when others gave some additional motor data etc that on paper it seem feasible to put the latest truck assembly in the long hood which would make the GP20 possible?
