Hi all,
The topic says it all!
I'm considering bashing a couple GP-40MCs for my MBTA commuter trains.
MBTA GP-40MC Picture
The chassis I'm leaning toward is an Athearn GP40X high hood. Although probably not a perfect match, I find the body is quite similar to the MBTA version with the long radiator flares. I'm going for the high hood version so that I may use them on Guilford GP-35s later on!
The cab will probably come from detail associates. They have several add-on versions of the wide cab...generally intended for the GP-60M But I think they will work just fine! Here's their canadian cab.
Stay tuned for more updates!
I'd love to hear any advice or suggestions!
Jeff
