Here is my take on a Burlington Northern GP9. The cab was the result of trying
to reverse engineer Benn Coifman’s five-wide cab on his
Northern Pacific GP9.
Eventually I gave up on trying to duplicate his design and came up with my
simpler version. The model was debuted at the Columbus, Ohio Great Train Expo
but I finally got around to taking pictures of it today. I plan on making
another one but in Soo Line colors to go with my
Soo Line MP15-ACs. And
since the files for making the 5-wide cab seen in the first Railbricks Reverse
Engineering Challenge have been made public, I am going to incorporate that into
my design since is it much more prototypical. Thanks for reading and please let
me know what you think. :)

Wow! I can just see hours and hours of work put in to designing it.
It looks fantastic!

Great work, Matt! Very neat and very studless, too! The 5-wide cab looks great
also. I also like the small details I am noticing, like the use of black
minifig hands in the handrails. A very nice build!

Sweet! I’m lovin’ the use of the minifig hands and the nice stairs/steps at the
front and back. The studless design really makes this GP-9 look clean and I
might have to revise mine to go a little more studless. Awesome work. A+!
