Notes:

This is a GP7 that Bob built from the American Models GP9 engine. He replaced the hoods with parts available from Des Plaines Hobbies, and added many details, including many PRR-specific details. For more information about how he built this model, see the online article link. We have included it here in this listing, because this model could be built from commercially-available parts. Note that American Models never made an EMD GP7.
