For the other one, I think using a Bachmann GE-44 ton as a starting point would be good enough. You'll have to lengthen the long hoods, but that's quite straight forward.
You really selected iconic Montreal-area locomotives! One of the boxcab is exhibited at Deux-Montagnes station. You could easily measure it to get it right.

Salut Matt! Indeed! And the Bachmann GE-44 ton is a good idea. I looked at it (on-line) and it looks feasible, with some mods here and there, such has lengtning the hood like you mentionned. So that project looks good as well.
J'ai vue la loco a St-Constant. Wish I had taken better pictures..
Merci!
