Sweet!This reminded me that I needed to grab one of the B&O ones. I'm also now on the lookout for any future sales on others to swap under my current fleet of 40s and 40-2s. I've got like 8 of em!
I wonder what it would take to put my old GP-7 shells on these. Or better still, to get Atlas to reissue the GP-7/9s on an updated mech.Otto K.
The GP-7/9 has a 40' wheelbase, the GP-40 has a 43' wheelbase. So you could probably put a GP-40 shell on a GP-7 mechanism but not the other way around. It would look weird either way though.
GP7/9 truck centers are 31' apartGP38/39/40 truck centers are 34' apart
