(I'm sitting here laughing at myself for the idiocy of my comment that I could even think about scratch building or bashing an E44 considering I just messed up my latest project. 
Where's that "smilies" of the little guy hitting himself in the face saying D'oh! )
But it occurred to me that maybe a good starting point for an E44 could be an Alco C628 or C630 to get that "narrow body" look. Maybe the new Kato U30C or the Trix U28 (?) I have sitting here could be a good shell starting point. There's nothing that I can think of off the top of my head to make that cab design though...hmmmm.
I'm itching to start striping/repainting this GP30 now and get it done, but there's no way with the temps being so low.
More to come!
