There was an Amtrak "Pepsi Can" GE unit which won the NASG contest some years ago. Photos of it were published in most of the S scale press (Dispatch, probably S/Sn3 Modelers Guide and maybe S Gaugian as well). As I recall, it was a very nicely done model, very crisp work, and reportedly based on the American Hi-Rail shell. Possibly someone can look it up, or maybe the builder is on this list. What I don't know is how much re-work went into the shell. For all I know it could be the builder replaced everything behind the cab, then replaced everything from the cab forward...
