Picture of a GP-20 cab roof

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

Does anyone know where I might find a picture or drawing of the cab roof for a GP-20 low-nose?I have some older GP-20 shells that I am doing detail work on. I have access to a lot of pictures and drawings of GP-20s via the Internet, but none of them are roof shots. (http://archive.trainpix.com, www.northeast.railfan.net, http://trainiax.net/mescalelocoemd.htm#4axle, etc.) I am trying to get an idea of where the rotary beacon, air horns and antenna need to be positioned. As I freelance, the positons aren’t road specific, but I would like a good idea of where they need to go. Thank you for any assistance you can provide

Page 128/9 of Model Railroader Cyclopedia Vol 2,Diesel Loco’s gives drawings of the roof top for both low/high nose versions.

I presume that the book is only available offline. And as such, I don’t know anyone who owns one and I am fairly certain that my local library doesn’t have it either.

Here are some BN photos, for low nose, start at 2038 and higher. 2040 was a good shot for all three items, horn, antenna and beacon.

Surely one of the 298 photos of GP20s that are in the RailPictures.net database will help you out.
