Rhett, A minor correction to some truck centers if I may. The prototype GP9 had 31' centers and the GP35 had 32' centers. I checked two sources for the prototype and they both matched on the truck centers. Drawings from RMC tend to have errors but the drawings in Mainline Modeler are accurate and those are the references I was checking. So I measured my AM GP9 and it comes out to 31'9". It appears that the AM GP9 has a centering of 9" too long and AM GP35 is only 3" too close.
But to settle this, I can measure actual GP9's and a GP30 to see what exactly they are. The GP30 and GP35 have the same truck center according to the drawings and all the info I've accumulated over the last 40 years.
