Here is a Soo Line GP9 and a US tanker car I recently built. The GP9 is very
similar to my Burlington Northern GP9 but the cab is much different. I used instructions

red curve on the cab just so. Only suggestion, if you have room on the GP, you
might want to drop the exhaust stacks by one plate. For the tank cars, it looks
like you wouldn’t want to put them at the front of a long train, but who cares,
it is still a good build and I might borrow it myself.
