MMRR GP9 24
Well since fall and winter is comming and work on the summer hobby of turning wrenches on my trucks is comming to a close, Im shifting focus back onto my Greenville module that Im building in my office. One of the side projects I want to do would be building MMRR 24. Ive been looking at GP9 models and think I want to go with a Proto GP. Ive had Protos before and like them a lot. Although, their GP9s are all high hood. I know theres aftermarket cabs avalable, but is there a GP9 chop nose kit avalable? I dont dive too much into the diesel detailing pool so anyone who knows more than me, Id like to hear from you!

Re: MMRR GP9 24
I'm not sure the is one for 24's style of chop nose. I had all the parts and the engine to make an MMRR 24 until recently. Start with a Phase III Proto GP9 without dynamic brakes. The best option for the cab is to use an Atlas SD26 cab if you can find one, it's almost a perfect match for 24's. The original proto nose can be chopped to match.

You might look at the Kalso Shops GP9R CN conversion kit. Just a thought.
