.....this is how their new power would look (except a little bigger), providing they would accept AC units ;D

 8) Thanks G&FRR.

I am not a real fantasy modeler, but anything styled in The Southern Railway System looks great!

Also, here are two links here, one is to The Diesel Detailer (http://dieseldetailer.proboards53.com/index.cgi), and another to Cresent Model Works (http://www.crescentmodelworks.com/index.htm).

The tuxedo even looks good on a modern unit, bet it would even spice up a GE :)  Its always nice to sit back and say what if...

Those locos are are fine example of modeling work. I like the concept of "what if." Although, if the Southern was still around, I don't think their new locos would be numbered in the slots assigned for GP38-2s and GP49/50s, like the model of the Southern SD70MAC and GE wide cab was.  ;D

Haha! I'll leave the motive-power planning up to you. I just can't get into the world of  fantasy railroading.  ;D  :D
