Hello!
i have an Athearn C44-9W, that just broke one time to many, and the shell is pretty much scrap. however, the chassis and trucks are fine. unfortuneately i can't seem to find a shell to put on it. Kato sells undecorated shells though, so i figured i could just paint a new paint scheme for the new shell. however i have no expierence with Kato, and do not know if i could use one of their shells. I heard of Rail Power Products, but i haven't been able to check them. they aren't on walthers either.
I would have just bought a new shell from athearn, or even a dummy, but they stopped selling blue box kits of the C44-9, or atleast blue box locomotives arent being made now.
i'm also aware that a AC4400W would fit on there as well.
