Here are photos of a old Globe, Athearn GP9s
The Globe, early Athearn GP9, phase 1. ATSF Zebra Stripe. I had 5 of these bodies. I changed the road name on 4 to the ANNA RR. Then I swaped one for a friends for one of his privet roads. I still have the original ATSF and the other 3 ANNA RR geeps.
*** Here is my ANNA RR GP9, phase 1. I didn't change numbers on any of them. I am hopeing that my over paint may be removeable later.
*** Here is a good photo of the roof detail on this locomotive. left to right ! Over the second fan is a cold weather hatch. Centered between the exaust stacks is the Dynamic break detail. last forward on the short hood roof is the steam generator detail for passenger equiped GPs. You notice that the standard horn holes in the short hood roof are missing. This denotes a original Globe Geep. Both Globe and Athearn released this road name and number. Athearn used this body for a short time then changed it to it's horn on the roof common version. Maybe just using up the bodies that were originaly cast by Globe.
