The GP35 is rather a boring engine in appearance. If you could pull off a GP30, that would be spectacular! Due to some "hacks" at design time, they have rather elaborate and ungainly fairing on the top of the hood which is a result of the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well, Chris- A GP35 was 56' 2"; an SD45 was 65' 8" (EMD used the longer underframe of SD45 as a standard, which was then used for the SD38, SD39, and SD40). The main difference, however, is that the GPs were a B-B (4-4) wheel configuration, while (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

According to what I just looked up a GP-35 is 56'-2" long, while the SD40's length was about 66'-5". There's a ten foot difference there which would be noticable at LEGO scale. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
