NR,
See if Atlas part 26500302 might be a solution for you. Atlas made different cab castings for their product; I imagine the MTH loco has a one-piece body shell [ ? ].

SZ,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind if I find any at a good price, after they are delivered.

But this being a Premier model, I am unwilling to commit to reserving one for $612, now that I know that they will have incorrect roof profiles.

It is unfortunate that MTH didn’t plan the original tooling, with this variation, in mind. BNSF has the largest field population of these Dash-9, among any railroad. Some of these former BNSF C44-9W locomotives were even sold to other railroads, in the US and abroad. Hence this Gull-Wing cab should be on 3 of the 7 unique schemes, in this run of the Premier, Dash-9, from Atlas, as they are either an ATSF, current or former BNSF Dash-9.

These are just my opinion,

Naveen Rajan
