Wathers, and Model Power all make GP9Ms. You can probably find a junked GP9M that you can steal the cab from.
I searched through the entire parts section of my walthers catolg, and nothing, do you know if a walthers GP9M cab will fit on an athearn blue box SD9, obviously some work needed, but isnt the cab or nose on the athearn bb kits not to scale?

ok, so it's for GP35/40's and it's based on UP/WP prototypes, but I think it's close enough:thumb:
It might, but the lowest cost brand Walthers runs is their Trainline stock, and those go for at least $100 dollars (my Trainline was a gift from a friend), so I wouldn't shell out that much for one single part. I agree with GEC, there should be some seperate detail part sold individually for this kind of thing.
I am looking for one with a curved top, like on your PRR loco, but if nothing turns up, the link you gave me is close enough where I could make the curved top. That is almost perfect for what I want, like I say if nothing else works, that is what Ill go for, thanks CNWman!
the Walthers GP9M is only $40, not 100. and thats at MSRP. you'll probably find them cheaper.
