Michael, It's (or will be) PRR 8551. The Pennsy had 66 GP-7's but only three looked like this one with it's roof mounted air tanks. The pilot steps are from BTS. I also replaced the steps at each of the four corners of the body because the AM steps are grossly undersized. I used styrene strips that I perforated to resembel safety tread. You can find really good S-scale plans for the GP-7 in the October 1982 issue of Mainline Modeler (long out of print, but pops up from time to time on Ebay). the DPH hoods are fantastic and not that difficult to add to the GP-9 shell. Some day I'd like to do an article on this conversion.
