that seems like a dream scenario for Atlas; they don't shy away from the regionals and shortlines

Maybe except that Athearn just released the GP50 in the Genisis Line in HO.

Bachmann is probably the best candidate.  They wouldn't worry about phases and would probably do the high hood version too.

Dern...
I would suggest Walthers, as they just released more GP60's, but well, yeah...

I think this would be perfect for Fox Valley. They have the mechinism. Some of the GP60 design work can be reused. It is a odd engine and seems to fit their interests.

But they have another engine in the works that I really want to see produced first.

Isn't the Atlas GP40-2 mechanism more suitable though?

GP40-2  Length 59'2"  Truck centers 34'0"
GP50     Length 59'2"  Truck centers 34'0"
GP60     Length 59'9"  Truck centers 35'1"
