Came across this today.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/310365349505
Its an Alco body with a GP20 nose and EMD trucks. Quite inventive I think.

This guy, certainly made some interesting choices here.
He could say, it was an SD24/40 repowered with an Alco prime mover and the 430 hood was available.... stretching though. The GM hood would be taller so why not just reuse it?

| Wow, that looks really good with the longer nose. And with the airtanks on the roof, it kind of reminds me of the chop-nose "SD20" (nee SD-24)'s the C&O built. That is to emphasize... almost. But it looks like a fine and inventive hack job. I like it quite a bit.
