I'm pretty sure that the panels Pascal put both sides of the bogies are just to
make the trucks look good in 8-studs size.

but there are no skirts or specific structure in the real engine.
In my previous post, I wrote :
"The motor is the 12V type but conversion to 9V would be easy."
but I have to add that you might need to use 2 motors instead of one, because of
the heavy weight of the model.
finally, I add a link to pictures of the four main livery :

If the "fret" (bright green) and "infra" (yellow) livery are quite easy to
made, I think "verte" (dark green) livery could be made with 2 or 3 BNSF loco
parts and some minor changes.
