Wish my scanner bed was bigger.
Here are the dimentions for painting the noodle on your 4400 series GP-9.

Dose any one know where I can get plans of GT's noodle? I have a train room set up and I would like to paint a life size one on the wall. Thanks!

Can't think of any plans, but you might want to take a photo, or decal, xerox & enlarge it, to get you in the ballpark. I'd do that but for my better half, aah well, she puts up with my GTW layout, so I can't complain. Good luck, I envy you! Wish I'd thought of that 30 years ago. When done, post a photo!

Ok, Thanks JUST AARON. I would appreciate that. I have been looking for them for a while. I actually have a cabinet/shelve combo that I keep my train stuff in and I am going to paint the actual size size logo on the cabinet door and paint it GT blue. I will either paint it All Blue, Blue with ornge trim on the frame or GT Black with Orange frame. But yes, if you do get another scan I would appreciate it very much. I will try to get a few pics when done. Having camera issues. Thanks.

Sorry this took so long. Youll have to do a bit a piecing together but It should be possible to reproduce.

So everything is based on 8 1/4. Total hite is 8.25 x 6= 49.5" tall.
All lettering is 8.25 wide. The space between the horizontal line in the G and the Bottom of the Top line of the G is 8.25 x 2 or 16.5 inches.

Yes! it did work. Now all I have to do is get it painted. That may take some time as things at work start to pick up a little. now that i have a copy, I may take them back aboard the boat this next sailing season and add the logo to the rec-room/trainroom. yes, we do have a good size layout on the boat! I will post pictures when i am through with it tho. Thank for the help!
