Has any manufacturer ever put out an HO scale model of an EMD GP40P? I’d like to get for use on a CNJ passenger train.
Failing that, has anyone tried to kitbash or scatchbuild one? (And failing that, does anyone know of a good resource for scale details drawings that I can peek around at?)
Nothing in plastic - Those GP40P’s were pretty much CNJ only. SP bought 3 GP40P-2 engines later. This is a good kitbash project; you will need 45 style ‘flaired’ fans and that S/G box on the rear, and of course a lengthen frame. I have not looked at any pictures, but IIRC they ran then facing either way, and they might have the extended cab for dual controls as well.

there ars probably some good scale drawings here:
