If youre not afraid of a little kitbashing, you can convert them into GEVO look alikes using the following page for inspiration:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.qstation.org/BNSF_GEVO_Model/">http://www.qstation.org/BNSF_GEVO_Model/</a><!-- m -->
the author doesn't list the part numbers for anything, but you can get the idea of what to do. I think the hardest part of doing that would be the color match of the models paint.
I've built a few of these myself and after the first one, it gets alot easier. I would get an old athearn blue box ac4400 shell and practice on that one first before cutting up a new heritage one. The major part of the GEVO identification is the radiator section, so if you think you can build new ones, then I'd let the other discrepancies like grill placements, alone.
Hope this helps.
