I would like an Athearn Genesis F7A M&StL, but they are extremely hard to find at a reasonable price. I have a M&StL set of Athearn F7A ready to run (powered and dummy). I would like to know whether the shell on my M&Stl F7A would fit on an Athearn Genesis F7A engine. If so, I maybe could buy an Athearn Genesis F7A of any road name, remove the shell, and install the shell from my Ready-to-Run Athearn F7A.
I do not want to buy a cheap Athearn Genesis F7A and then find out this does not work.
Thanks for your help.

This forum operates in 1:1 scale railroading.
As Balt said, this is for the prototype. You would do much better to post this in the Model Railroader Forum.
Sorry. When I signed up for the forum, that is what I thought I was doing. My mistake.
I don’t know boys, if an Athearn Genesis runs better than the prototype I’d love to hear about it!
It’s fine. No big deal.
When I first saw this I thought Athearn had gone and built a 1:1 loco.
Perhaps when Cat sells off EMD in a few years Athearn can step in. kinda hard to tell the difference in their pricing now anyway…
